Pseudocode No No pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks were found in the paper.
Open Source Code Yes The code is available at: https://github.com/lianchengmingjue/DENet.
Open Datasets Yes Similar to the existing watermark removal method (Cun and Pun 2021), all the experiments are conducted on the LOGO series dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper specifies training (12151 images) and testing (2025 images) splits for the LOGO series datasets, but does not explicitly mention a separate validation dataset split.
Hardware Specification No No specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running experiments were provided in the paper.
Software Dependencies No The paper states 'Our method is implemented with Pytorch (Paszke et al. 2019)' but does not provide a specific version number for Pytorch or any other software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes The models are trained for 200 epochs, where the input image resolution is 256 256. We choose Adam (Kingma and Ba 2014) as optimizer with learning rate of 1e-3, batch size 16. The hyper-parameters in (7) are λmask = 1, λvgg = 0.25, λcontrast = 0.25, respectively. Therefore, we set temperature parameter τ to 0.07 and multi-head numbers h to 4 in the following experiments.
