Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Solving Model (8) via EM
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement or link indicating that the source code for the described methodology is publicly available.
Open Datasets Yes In this section, five standard databases, including FGNET Aging database (Lanitis, Taylor, and Cootes 2002), Visible (VI) and Near-Infrared (NIR) Face Database (Shen et al. 2011), OSR database (Parikh and Grauman 2011), Pub Fig database (Kumar et al. 2009) and LFW database (Huang et al. 2007), are selected to evaluate the effectiveness of our method.
Dataset Splits No The paper consistently mentions "training samples" and "test samples" but does not explicitly describe a separate "validation" dataset split used for hyperparameter tuning or early stopping, which is typically part of a full train/validation/test split for reproducibility.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not explicitly describe the specific hardware (e.g., GPU models, CPU types) used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions other software used for comparison (e.g., SVM (Fan et al. 2008), Liblinear) but does not provide specific version numbers for any software dependencies required to replicate their own method's experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes For our method, we set λ = 0.001, ξ = 10^-5 and R = 5. For other compared methods, we follow the authors suggestions to choose the optimal parameters.
