| Research Type | Experimental | Finally, in Section 4, we perform extensive simulations with linear models over synthetic data which illustrate the theoretical predictions and, then, investigate the importance of implicit bias in robust ERM with deep neural networks over image classification problems. |

| Pseudocode | No | The paper describes algorithms in paragraph form (e.g., Section 3.1, Appendix D) but does not present them in structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | Yes | Link to github repository: https://github.com/Tsili42/ price-imp-bias/tree/main. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | In Figure 3, we plot the accuracy of models trained on random subsets of MNIST [Le Cun et al., 1998] with standard ERM (ϵ = 0) and robust ERM (ϵ = 0.2). |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper mentions “train accuracy” and “test accuracy” (e.g., Figure 3 caption: “Train and test accuracy correspond to the magnitude of perturbation ϵ used during training.”) but does not explicitly describe a validation dataset split. |
| Hardware Specification | No | All experiments are implemented in Py Torch and were run either on multiple CPUs (experiments with linear models) or GPUs. |
| Software Dependencies | No | All experiments are implemented in Py Torch |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | Linear models For the experiments with linear models f(x; w) = w, x , we train with the exponential loss and we use an (adaptive) learning rate schedule ηt = min{η+, 1 (B+ϵ)2 e L(wt)}, where η+ is a finite upper bound (105 in our experiments)... |
