Research Type Theoretical The paper focuses on defining new algebraic structures (semirings, bimonoids) and clarifying their relationships to graph metrics, deriving sufficient conditions for these structures to define a metric. It presents theoretical concepts and proofs (e.g., Appendix A, F, G) rather than empirical evaluation on datasets. Although Table 1 and Figure 1 show 'toy examples' and 'schematic' visualizations, these serve to illustrate theoretical properties, not to present empirical performance results or comparisons on real-world data.

Pseudocode No The paper states in Appendix I: 'Nonetheless, in appendix I we sketch an algorithm to compute the Exp-max and Log-max distances (last row Table 1).' However, the appendix provides a descriptive explanation of an approach rather than a structured pseudocode block or algorithm formally presented as such.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any explicit statement about releasing source code for the methodology described, nor does it provide any links to a code repository.
Open Datasets No This is a theoretical paper that does not involve empirical training on datasets. It uses 'toy examples' and 'schematic' visualizations for illustrative purposes, not for data-driven training or evaluation.
Dataset Splits No This is a theoretical paper and does not describe experiments that would involve validation splits of a dataset.
Hardware Specification No This paper is theoretical and does not describe any computational experiments that would require specific hardware specifications. Therefore, no hardware details are provided.
Software Dependencies No This paper is theoretical and does not describe any computational experiments that would require specific software dependencies with version numbers. Therefore, no software dependency details are provided.
Experiment Setup No This paper is theoretical and does not describe any empirical experimental setup with hyperparameters, training configurations, or system-level settings.
