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.

Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Extensive validation on standard benchmarks demonstrate that the algorithm, in combination with carefully designed sampling procedures, is significantly more accurate than existing techniques, thus promising to be the first practical DP embedding model.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 DPALS: Private Matrix Completion via Alternating Minimization
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide a direct link or explicit statement about the availability of its source code.
Open Datasets Yes Movie Lens data sets. We apply our method to two common recommender benchmarks: (i) rating prediction on Movie Lens 10M (ML-10M) following Lee et al. (2013), where the task is to predict the value of a user s rating, and performance is measured using the RMSE, (ii) item recommendation on Movie Lens 20M (ML-20M) following Liang et al. (2018), where the task is to select k movies for each user and performance is measured using Recall@k.
Dataset Splits No Each data set is partitioned into training, validation and test sets. Hyper-parameters are chosen on the validation set, and the final performance is measured on the test set. However, the paper does not specify the exact percentages or methodology for these splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not specify any particular hardware used for running experiments (e.g., GPU models, CPU types).
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific version numbers for any software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes Additional details on the experimental setup are in Appendix D, including statistics of the data sets, a list of hyper-parameters and the ranges we used for each.
