Researcher Affiliation Academia Vahan Petrosyan and Alexandre Proutiere Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) {vahanp, alepro}@kth.se
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Spread Virus; Algorithm 2: Suppress Virus; Algorithm 3: Viral Clustering
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link for open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes C. We finally tested our algorithm on five real world datasets, collected from UCI machine learning repository (Lichman 2013).
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using datasets and performing experiments but does not explicitly provide details on how the data was split into training, validation, and test sets. It mentions using '50 random realizations for each dataset' but not the split percentages or methodology.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not specify the hardware used for running the experiments (e.g., CPU, GPU models, memory).
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using k-means and EM algorithm but does not specify any software names with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes For the VC algorithm, we have chosen lspr = 1 when p = 10 and lspr = 3 when p = 2, or 3. Only in Gap5, we used lspr = 20. ... For all real world and five artificially generated datasets we used lspr = 3.
