Notice: This website is continuously updated as new conference proceedings and journal volumes are published. Consequently, the figures presented here may differ from those reported in our publications.


A brief overview of our methodology is provided on the Methods page, along with references to publications documenting our approach and links to the code and data used in each study.


The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Working Procedure of INFERONCE
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement about the release of source code for the described methodology, nor does it include a direct link to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes We incorporate four real-world benchmarks that vary in size, domain, sparsity, and duration, as reported in Table 1. Each dataset is partitioned chronologically into a 50% base segment and five consecutive 10% incremental segments. (Table 1 lists: Lastfm-2k, TB2014, Gowalla, Foursquare)
Dataset Splits Yes The base segment is randomly divided into training, validation, and testing sets in a 6:2:2 ratio.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not explicitly describe the specific hardware (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used to run its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., programming language versions, library versions, or solver versions).
Experiment Setup Yes Here η denotes the learning rate. Which significantly reduces the computation cost compared to Eqn. (7) whilst providing flexibility of tuning approximation rate with hyper-parameter λ. Lastly, we vary the reservoir size by adjusting the reply ratio, i.e., K/|D|, to investigate the INFERONCE performance. For stable reproducibility, we conduct five-fold cross validation.
