Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Bimodal Embedding for Expression Prediction
Open Source Code Yes Code available at https://github.com/bowang-lab/BLEEP
Open Datasets Yes The dataset [2, 3] used to train and benchmark BLEEP... The data is publicly available for download at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE240429.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions holding out one slice for testing and using the others for training, but it does not explicitly state specific percentages or methods for a separate validation split within the main text.
Hardware Specification Yes BLEEP is trained using 4 NVIDIA V100 GPUs with the Adam W optimizer[12], a batch size of 512 and a learning rate of 0.001 for 150 epochs.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions software like "Scanpy package" and "Harmony", but it does not provide specific version numbers for these software dependencies, which is required for reproducibility.
Experiment Setup Yes BLEEP is trained using 4 NVIDIA V100 GPUs with the Adam W optimizer[12], a batch size of 512 and a learning rate of 0.001 for 150 epochs.
