Pseudocode No No structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks were found in the paper.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statement about releasing source code or a link to a code repository for the methodology described.
Open Datasets No We set up A/B test experiments on Yahoo’s Demand-Side Platform. We selected five advertisers to participate in the test.
Dataset Splits No Our task is to train a generic AR prediction model ˆP to give AR estimations for both cases when an ad is shown or not shown. ... We set up A/B test experiments on Yahoo’s Demand-Side Platform. We first randomly split users into three equal-sized groups.
Hardware Specification No No specific hardware details (like GPU/CPU models, memory, or cloud instances) used for running experiments were mentioned in the paper.
Software Dependencies No Once the training samples are gathered, we train a Gradient-Boosting-Decision-Tree (GBDT) model to predict the rank order and then calibrate using isotonic regression to translate a GBDT score to an AR. Please note that we utilize our in-house GBDT tool with distributed training capability for modeling; however, other proper machine learning models can also be applied.
Experiment Setup No Our task is to train a generic AR prediction model... we train a Gradient-Boosting-Decision-Tree (GBDT) model to predict the rank order and then calibrate using isotonic regression to translate a GBDT score to an AR.
