Pseudocode No The paper describes methods and algorithms (e.g., "greedy minimum entropy coupling algorithm"), but does not contain a structured pseudocode or algorithm block.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or a direct link to the source code for the methodology described.
Open Datasets Yes Finally, we apply the algorithm on Tübingen cause-effect pairs dataset. Tübingen Cause-Effect Pairs In [15], authors employed the total entropy-based algorithm on Tübingen data [20] and showed that it performs similar to additive noise models with an accuracy of 64%.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific dataset split information (exact percentages, sample counts, citations to predefined splits, or detailed splitting methodology) needed to reproduce the data partitioning.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types with speeds, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers) needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup No The paper states that 'Complete details of each experiment are provided in the supplementary material' but does not include specific experimental setup details (concrete hyperparameter values, training configurations, or system-level settings) in the main text.
