Research Type Experimental 6 Experimental Results We have studied the submodular maximization problem subject to different constraints. In this section, we compare our proposed algorithms with the state-of-the-art algorithms under the following constraints: (i) a carnality constraint (Section 6.1), (ii) a single knapsack constraint (Section 6.2), and (iii) combination of a p-system and d knapsack constraints (Appendix J.4). ... In our first experiment, we implement a movie recommender system by finding a diverse set of movies for a user. We adopt the approach of Lindgren et al. [54] to extract features for each movie by using ratings from the Movie Lens dataset [31]. ... From Figures 1c and 1d, we observe that Algorithm 2 significantly outperforms the other two algorithms with respect to both the utility and number of oracle calls metrics.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: FAST THRESHOLD GREEDY(ε, α)... Algorithm 2: FAST THRESHOLD GREEDY + POST-PROCESSING(ε)... Algorithm 3: Basic Algorithm(λ, ρ)
Open Source Code No The paper states "Did you include the code, data, and instructions needed to reproduce the main experimental results (either in the supplemental material or as a URL)? [Yes]", but it does not provide a direct link to a code repository or an unambiguous statement about releasing the source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes In our first experiment, we implement a movie recommender system by finding a diverse set of movies for a user. We adopt the approach of Lindgren et al. [54] to extract features for each movie by using ratings from the Movie Lens dataset [31].
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using datasets for experiments (e.g., Movie Lens dataset) but does not provide specific details on how the data was split into training, validation, or test sets.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details such as exact GPU/CPU models, processor types, or memory amounts used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers) needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup Yes FASTTHRESHOLDGREEDY with ε {0.1, 0.2} performs as good as LAZYGREEDY... Execute Algorithm 1 with α = ε 1.
