Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 The optimization process of the proposed model
Open Source Code No The paper provides links to the code for *comparable methods* (EN, PE, KM, TIc E, UPU, USMO) in footnotes, but does not provide a link or explicit statement about releasing the source code for their own proposed CAPU method.
Open Datasets Yes Real-world Datasets. We utilize four real-world datasets downloaded from the UCI Machine Learning Repository to evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithm.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes how positive and unlabeled samples are created and their counts, but it does not specify explicit training, validation, and test dataset splits for model development and evaluation.
Hardware Specification No The numerical calculations in this paper have been done on the supercomputing system in the Supercomputing Center of Wuhan University. This is a general statement about the computing environment but lacks specific hardware details like CPU/GPU models or memory.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies, such as programming languages or library versions (e.g., Python 3.x, PyTorch 1.x), that would be necessary to replicate the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes There are three parameters included in our CAPU model: the width σ of the RBF kernel, and the trade off parameters λ and β. [...] The performance of our CAPU model is best when the kernel width σ = 1. [...] Algorithm 1 ... Parameter: The width of Gaussian kernel σ, hyperparameters λ and β and threshold µ = 1/ min(np, nu) Constants: ϵ = 0.04, θmax = 10.
