Pseudocode No The paper describes the inference process but does not include a formal pseudocode block or algorithm listing.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain an explicit statement or link indicating that the source code for the methodology is openly available.
Open Datasets Yes We use a dataset of Four Square check-in sequences from year 2011. Each check-in has a location (latitude and longitude) and a time stamp. The dataset was originally collected by (Gao et al., 2012a) to study location-based social networks.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions fitting models to "500 random users" and evaluating on "test datasets", but does not explicitly provide specific training/validation/test splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or predefined split references) needed for reproduction.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., CPU/GPU models, memory) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes In our experiments, we set the number of states and topics to 50 for the national data and 30 for the Florida data. We fit all models using data from 500 random users, running the MCMC samplers for 1500 iterations and retaining the last 500 samples for the evaluation experiments described below. For every test user, we perform 500 iterations of Gibbs sampling of the user s hidden trajectory and preference vector, and use the last 200 samples for prediction.
