Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 EC2(n, m)
Open Source Code Yes Our implementation of the algorithm and experiments are available at https://github.com/UCLA-Star AI/mc2.
Open Datasets Yes We construct a 6-dataset testing suite, four of which are common regression benchmarks from several domains [13], and the rest are classification on MNIST and FASHION datasets [36, 35].
Dataset Splits No No specific details on train/validation/test splits (e.g., percentages or exact counts) are provided. The paper mentions monitoring loss on a 'held out set' during structure learning and using 'different percentages of missing features' for evaluation, but not specific train/validation splits.
Hardware Specification No No specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory, or cloud instance types) used for experiments are mentioned in the paper.
Software Dependencies No No specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., Python 3.x, PyTorch x.x) are listed in the paper.
Experiment Setup Yes For RCs, we adapt the parameter and structure learning of LCs [18], substituting the logistic regression objective with a ridge regression during optimization. For structure learning of both LCs and RCs, we considered up to 100 iterates while monitoring the loss on a held out set. For PSDDs we employ the parameter and structure learning of [19] with default parameters and run it up to 1000 iterates until no significant improvement is seen on a held out set.
