Pseudocode No The paper describes the methods in prose and mathematical equations but does not include structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code Yes Our source code is released at https://github.com/Maryeon/whiten mtd.
Open Datasets Yes we use the clean version of Google Landmark Dataset v2 (GLDv2-clean) (Weyand et al. 2020) as the training set and two additional independent datasets RParis6k (RPar) and ROxford5k (ROxf) (Radenovi c et al. 2018) for evaluation.
Dataset Splits No The paper specifies the use of GLDv2-clean as the training set and ROxf/RPar for evaluation, but it does not explicitly provide details about a separate validation set split (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or specific predefined validation splits).
Hardware Specification No The paper mentions 'The computation overhead is measured by the number of GFLOPs when a model encodes a given image of size 1024 768', which is a performance metric, but it does not specify the hardware (e.g., specific GPU or CPU models) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., 'Python 3.8, PyTorch 1.9, and CUDA 11.1') needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup No The paper states 'We provide implementation details and additional experiment results in supplementary materials.' indicating that specific experimental setup details, such as hyperparameter values, are not fully provided in the main text.
