Research Type Experimental We now report on experiments aimed at providing insights on the performance of the stochastic privacy procedures with a case study of the selective collection of user data in support of the personalization of web search. Evaluation to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedures on a case study of user selection for personalization in web search.

Pseudocode Yes Procedure 1: SPGREEDY
Open Source Code No The paper provides a link to an extended version PDF ('http://research.microsoft.com/ horvitz/Stochastic Privacy-extended.pdf'), but no explicit statement or link for open-source code for the methodology was found.
Open Datasets No The primary source of data for the study is obtained from interaction logs on a major web search engine. We consider a fraction of users who issued at least one query in the month of October 2013, restricted to queries coming from IP addresses located within ten neighboring states in the western region of the United States. This results in a pool W of seven million users. No public access information (link, DOI, or formal citation for dataset access) is provided for these specific interaction logs.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes a 'pool W of seven million users' but does not specify exact training, validation, and test split percentages, sample counts, or a detailed splitting methodology for reproducibility.
Hardware Specification No No specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory, or cloud instance types) used for running the experiments were provided.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using the 'Open Directory Project (ODP)' for classification but does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., programming languages, libraries, frameworks) for their implementation.
Experiment Setup No While the paper describes the experimental application (location-based personalization) and data source, it does not provide specific hyperparameters, optimizer settings, or detailed training configurations for the described algorithms.
