Research Type Experimental Experimental results on both synthetic data and four real world data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of our model, which outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in not only decomposing the entire consumed energy to each appliance in houses, but also the inference of household structures. We evaluated our Para Hawkes-LDA model on both synthetic and real-world data sets, and compared the performance with the following baselines.

Pseudocode No The paper describes the model and inference algorithm using mathematical equations and textual explanations, but does not include any clearly labeled pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement about making its source code available, nor does it include a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes We evaluated our Para Hawkes-LDA model on both synthetic and real-world data sets... The first data set is Smart* [Barker et al., 2012]... The second data set is Reference Energy Disaggregation Dataset (REDD) [Kolter and Johnson, 2011]... The third data set is Pecan Street 2 http://www.pecanstreet.org/... The fourth data set is a Irish smart-grid data set collected by Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) 3 http://www.cer.ie/
Dataset Splits No To avoid overfitting issues, we adopt a k-fold cross validation strategy, and select the optimal number of user appliance usage pattern K. However, the paper does not specify the exact percentages or counts for the validation split.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments, such as CPU or GPU models, or memory specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list any specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., libraries, frameworks, or programming language versions) used for the implementation or experiments.
Experiment Setup No The paper mentions 'The default value of σ0 is set to be 1.' for noisy data generation and 'In our experiments, we use a constant σ.' for Gaussian noise. However, it does not provide specific hyperparameters or system-level training settings like learning rates, batch sizes, number of epochs, or optimizer configurations for the Para Hawkes-LDA model itself.
