| Research Type | Experimental | We also conduct extensive experiments using real price data to verify the advantages and practicability of our mechanism. To empirically validate the advantages of our mechanism over existing ones, we conduct extensive experiments using three popular worker models as well as the real-world price data collected from MTurk, a widely-adopted microtask crowdsourcing platform. |

| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1: Optimal MAB Algorithm (OA-MAB) and Algorithm 2: Optimal Posted-Price Mechanism (OPPM) are presented with structured steps. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not provide any statement or link indicating that its source code is publicly available. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | The data (Fig. 1e) collected using MTurk-Tracker [Difallah et al., 2015] |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper does not explicitly specify training, validation, or test dataset splits (e.g., percentages, counts, or predefined splits). |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory). |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not list any specific software dependencies with version numbers. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | The settings of our experiments are shown in Table 1. This table details the worker models, price ranges, and B/N ratios for each experiment (e.g., 'Expt. #1 Private Cost Model: ci U[5, 200] Price Range [5, 200] B/N 40', 'Expt. #2 Discrete Choice Model: ... Mi = 2000'). It also states: 'The price unit in all experiments is the cent. The expected revenue is estimated with the mean of 100 runs.' |
