Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 TESTANDMATCH Algorithm 2 MIMIC Algorithm 3 MINIMAXTEST Algorithm 4 SIMULATEP
Open Source Code Yes The source code is available at https://github.com/cxjdavin/ online-bipartite-matching-with-imperfect-advice.
Open Datasets Yes Our problem instances are generated from the synthetic hard known IID instance of (Manshadi et al., 2012) where any online algorithm achieves a competitive ratio of at most 0.823 in expectation.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes a generative process for instances but does not specify explicit train/validation/test splits, percentages, or absolute sample counts for data partitioning. The problem is online, so data arrives sequentially rather than being split into traditional fixed datasets.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., CPU, GPU models, memory, or cloud instance types) used for running the experiments. It only mentions "preliminary experiments."
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions implementing TESTANDMATCH but does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or specific solvers).
Experiment Setup Yes For our testing threshold, we set ε = ˆn/n β so that τ = 2(ˆn/n β) ε = ˆn/n β. We generated 10 random graph instances with n = 2000 offline and n online vertices. Starting with perfect advice ˆc = c , we corrupt the advice by an α parameter using two types of corruption.
