Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Difficulty Learning
Open Source Code No No explicit statement or link providing concrete access to the source code for the methodology described in this paper was found.
Open Datasets No The paper describes using 'real data' with specific characteristics (1499 images, Fisher vectors, 38 graduate students for labeling), but it does not provide any concrete access information (link, DOI, formal citation with authors/year, or mention of an established benchmark) for this dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper states 'We randomly select 20% images to generate the training set L' but does not provide specific information regarding validation splits or further breakdown of the remaining data.
Hardware Specification No No specific hardware details (like GPU/CPU models, memory, or cloud instance types) used for running experiments were mentioned.
Software Dependencies No No specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., programming languages, libraries, or solvers) were mentioned.
Experiment Setup Yes The optimization problem in Equation 8 is solved to predict the difficulty of the images in X L, where the kernel function Φ is set to be the linear kernel, α = 10 4 and β = 3. The parameter η is set between 0.1 and 0.3.
