| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1: Multiplicative Weights with Hint Intervals [...] Algorithm 2 (pseudocode in Appendix A) |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link to open-source code for the described methodology. The checklist indicates "Pseudocode is included but data is confidential", implying no code release. |
| Open Datasets | No | This section presents several real-data experiments in repeated first-price auctions based on practical bidding data, where the hint is the context-based prediction provided by blackbox machine learning models. For business confidentiality we do not disclose further information about the datasets. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper mentions using "around 0.38 million data points" and allocating "all data points to separate bins" but does not specify train, validation, or test dataset splits (e.g., percentages or counts). |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide any specific hardware details such as GPU models, CPU types, or cloud computing instances used for running the experiments. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not mention any specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch versions). |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | We implemented Algorithm 3 on dataset with support size K = 5. [...] We allocate all data points to separate bins according to the private value vt |
