Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Fast VALS Learning algorithm.
Open Source Code Yes Our implementation is available at: https: //github.com/dingjingtao/View enhanced ALS.
Open Datasets Yes Tmall2: Tmall is the largest E-commerce platform in China. To make our results reproducible, we use a public benchmark released in IJCAI-2015 challenge3. The dataset is downloaded from https://tianchi.aliyun.com/ datalab/data Set.htm?id=5
Dataset Splits No The paper uses a 'leave-one-out protocol' for testing but does not explicitly mention a separate validation split. Training is done on 'the remaining data'.
Hardware Specification Yes Our experiment on the same machine (Intel Xeon 2.10 GHz CPU) shows that the actual training time per iteration for VALS on Beibei dataset is about 75s.
Software Dependencies No No specific software versions (e.g., library names with version numbers) were provided.
Experiment Setup Yes We tuned the weight of missing data si. We tuned the learning rate εBPR. For regularization, we set λ as 0.001 for all methods for a fair comparison. Since the findings are consistent across the number of latent factors K, we report the results of K = 32 only. Our VALS has two parameters: {γ1, γ2}, which are the margin values... and ci that determines the weight of view data. To find the best setting for (γ, c0), we conduct a grid search over these two parameters... we fix γ and c0 according to the best performance evaluated by HR, i.e., γ =0.3, c0 =1.6 for Beibei and γ =3.5, c0 =0.5 for Tmall.
