Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Multi-wise Quick-Select(S, m, k) (MQSelect).
Open Source Code Yes The codes can be found in our Git Hub repo.6 https://github.com/Wenbo Ren/Multi-wise-Ranking.git
Open Datasets No The paper discusses "a set of n items" and for numerical results states that "all points are averaged over 100 independent trials with random true rankings." It does not provide access information for a publicly available or open dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes numerical simulations with varying parameters (n, k, m, δ) and using "random true rankings" for trials, but it does not provide specific training/test/validation dataset splits or mention any predefined splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types, or memory amounts) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions that code is available in a GitHub repository but does not provide specific ancillary software details, such as library or solver names with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes In Figure 1 (a), we set n = 1000 and k = {1, 10, 100, 500}, and vary the value of m. In Figure 1 (b), we set n = 1000 and m = {2, 10, 100, 500}, and vary the value of k. In all figures, n = 1000 (except (f)), δ = 0.01 (if applicable), and all points are averaged over 100 independent trials with random true rankings.
