Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Using an industrial dataset obtained from a large bike-sharing company, our experiments show that Tru Pre Tar is effective in rebalancing bike supply and demand and, as a result, generates high revenue that outperforms several benchmark mechanisms.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Tru Pre Tar: a truthful and budget feasible incentive mechanism with predicted task revenue
Open Source Code No The paper provides a link to its full version on arXiv but does not explicitly state that source code for the methodology is available or provide a direct link to a code repository.
Open Datasets No We conduct simulation using a real-world dataset obtained from a large bike-sharing company in China called Mobike. The bike riding data cover 8 8 regions of Beijing with each region being 0.6km 0.6km, and are dated from May 10th to 14th, 2017.
Dataset Splits No The paper refers to using a real-world dataset for simulations but does not specify explicit training/validation/test dataset splits needed for reproduction.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types with speeds, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers like Python 3.8, CPLEX 12.4) needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup Yes In the experiments, we set the number of users n = 200, and test different location numbers m. The cost of each user ci is drawn from uniform distribution over [0, c] where c = 5. The value of a task is calculated as the difference between the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergences (Kullback and Leibler 1951) before and after fulfilling the task... The acceptable range h is set as 300m and 600m, respectively. We also test the budget of 50 and 500 where 500 is sufficient while 50 is not.
