Pseudocode No The paper describes the proposed framework and its components in text but does not include pseudocode or a clearly labeled algorithm block.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement about releasing open-source code or a link to a code repository for the methodology described.
Open Datasets Yes The U.S. Congressional floor debate (Convote) dataset [Thomas et al., 2006]: it consists of debate transcripts of the US Congress in 2005. The IBC dataset [Iyyer et al., 2014]: it includes sentences selected from the Ideological Books Corpus, a collection of books and magazine articles written between 2008 and 2012 by authors with well-known political leanings. The Twitter dataset: Bakshy et al. [2015] lists the media with their ideology leanings. We further find their corresponding twitter accounts. We collect tweets (provided by Sasa Petrovic1) posted by these twitter accounts from Jul., 2011 to Sep., 2011. We use DBPedia2 [Bizer et al., 2009] as a source of background knowledge graph.

Dataset Splits Yes We perform 10-fold cross-validation on Convote and IBC datasets for each method except for the RNN-serial models4.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions tuning parameters with 'machine learning library scikit-learn3' but does not specify its version number or any other software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper mentions 'tuned the parameters of SVM and LR with cross-validation' but does not provide specific hyperparameter values or detailed training configurations for any of the models, including the proposed OKG.
