Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We evaluate our approach using large-scale, real-world search logs of a widely used commercial Web search engine. The experimental results show that incorporating context information significantly improves entity recommendation, and learning the model in a multi-task learning setting could bring further improvements.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Training the multi-task DNN model
Open Source Code No The paper does not include an explicit statement or link indicating that the source code for the described methodology is publicly available.
Open Datasets No The data sets are collected from a commercial Web search engine and are described as 'large-scale, real-world data sets'. There is no indication or link provided for public access to these datasets.
Dataset Splits Yes Tr was randomly split into training set T l r (80%), validation set T v r (10%), and test set T t r (10%).
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments, such as GPU/CPU models or memory specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using Bidirectional LSTM and Gradient Boosted Decision Tree (GBDT) but does not provide specific version numbers for these or any other software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes We use 2-layer Bi LSTM with 128 hidden units. The dimensions of word embeddings, query embeddings, document embeddings, and entity embeddings are set to 256. The mini-batch size is set to 512. The learning rate is initially set to 0.1, which is decayed by a factor of 0.9 after every 10 epochs.
