| Pseudocode | No | The paper describes the optimization steps in paragraph form, but does not include any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | No | A footnote states 'Can be found at www-scf.usc.edu/ yuanshi/' which refers to Supplementary Materials. This is a personal/university webpage and not a direct link to a source-code repository. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | We use 9 real-world datasets from UCI machine learning repository (Lichman 2013). |
| Dataset Splits | Yes | For each dataset, we randomly split it into the training (60% of samples), validation (20%) and test (20%) sets. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | On the Car dataset, Ord-LMNN-Uni takes 2 mins and LMNN takes 1 min per hyper-parameter setting (1.4GHz CPU). |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not specify versions for any software components, libraries, or programming languages used in the experiments. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | Tunable parameters include the tradeoff parameter in LMNN, as well as the tradeoff parameter and margin parameter in our methods. All methods are evaluated using k-nearest neighbor classifier with k set to 3. |
