Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: SPRL ALGORITHM
Open Source Code Yes Details of both the source code and datasets used in the experiments can be found in supplementary document.
Open Datasets Yes For the real-world datasets, we chose the Blog Feedback dataset (Buza 2014) for the robust regression task... For the classification task, we chose the Large Movie Review dataset (Maas et al. 2011) collected from the IMDb website
Dataset Splits No The paper specifies training and testing sets with exact sample counts ('The first 12,000 data samples were used as training set... The other 10,000 data samples were chosen as the testing set.') but does not explicitly mention a separate validation set or split for hyperparameter tuning.
Hardware Specification Yes All the experiments were conducted on a 64-bit machine with an Intel(R) Core(TM) quad-core processor (i7CPU@3.6GHz) and 32.0GB of memory.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions software components and frameworks in general (e.g., 'off-the-shelf optimizer'), but it does not specify any software names with version numbers (e.g., 'Python 3.8', 'PyTorch 1.9').
Experiment Setup Yes For our proposed method, SPRL, we choose the parameter λ as 1 and 3.5 for regression and classification tasks, respectively. The traditional self-paced learning algorithm (SPL) ... was also compared in our experiments with the parameter λ = 0.1 and the step size μ = 1.1.
