Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Finally, we empirically evaluate our approach in DCOP, F-DCOP, and MIF-DCOP settings and show that DPSA produces solutions of significantly better quality than the state-of-the-art non-exact algorithms in their corresponding settings.

Pseudocode Yes We will now describe the DPSA algorithm for solving MIFDCOPs (Algorithm 22). Algorithm 1: Cross-Entropy Sampling, Algorithm 2: The DPSA Algorithm
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link to its open-source code.
Open Datasets No The paper generates random graphs using Erd os R enyi topology and random coefficients for functions, rather than using a pre-existing publicly available dataset with concrete access information.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions running algorithms on independently generated problems but does not specify training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification Yes In order to conduct these experiments, we use a GCP-n2-highcpu-64 instance, a cloud computing service which is publicly accessible at cloud.google.com.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions the use of algorithms and frameworks but does not specify version numbers for any software dependencies (e.g., programming languages, libraries, or solvers).
Experiment Setup Yes For all the benchmarks, we use the following parameters for DPSA Itrmax = 2500, Rmax = 12, Smax = 1, Slan = 100, α = 0.5, S = .01 and K = 16. Finally, we use following parameters for DPSA Itrmax = 3000, Rmax = 12, Smax = 1, Slan = 120, α = 0.5, S = 0.005 and K = 25. To select neighbours in DPSA and DSAN, we use both uniform distribution and Normal distribution with σ = 6 over the domain.
