Pseudocode No No structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks were found in the paper. The methods are described in narrative text and formal definitions.
Open Source Code Yes The code is at https://github.com/IBM/FD-Novelty-PO
Open Datasets Yes The benchmark set consists of all STRIPS benchmarks from the satisficing tracks of International Planning Competitions (IPC) 1998-2018, a total of 1816 tasks in 64 domains.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using 'all STRIPS benchmarks from the satisficing tracks of International Planning Competitions (IPC) 1998-2018', but does not specify training, validation, or test dataset splits in the typical machine learning sense.
Hardware Specification Yes The experiments were performed on Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6248 CPU @2.50GHz machines, with the time and memory limit of 30min and 4GB, respectively
Software Dependencies No The paper states, 'we implemented it on top of the Fast Downward planning system [Helmert, 2006].' However, it does not provide specific version numbers for Fast Downward or any other software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes All tested configuration perform a greedy best-first search with delayed evaluation and multiple queues. ... with the time and memory limit of 30min and 4GB, respectively. ... We select top k elements and test three bounds, k {10, 100, 1000}.
