Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Determine Es via incremental 1D SE minimization. Algorithm 2: Event detection via hierarchical 2D SE minimization.
Open Source Code Yes Our code is publicly available 1. 1https://github.com/SELGroup/HISEvent
Open Datasets Yes We experiment on two large, public Twitter datasets, i.e., Event2012 (Mc Minn, Moshfeghi, and Jose 2013), and Event2018 (Mazoyer et al. 2020).
Dataset Splits No We evaluate under both closedand open-set settings by adopting the data splits of Ren et al. 2022a and Cao et al. 2021. The paper refers to external data splits but does not provide specific percentages or counts for training, validation, or test sets within the provided text.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using SBERT and BERT but does not provide specific version numbers for software dependencies or libraries used in the implementation.
Experiment Setup No The paper mentions 'Implementation details are in Appendix' and discusses the hyperparameter 'n', but does not explicitly provide other specific hyperparameter values or comprehensive system-level training settings in the main text.
