Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 GPC-Simplex: GPC for Simplex LDS
Open Source Code Yes Relevant code is open-sourced in [16].
Open Datasets No The paper focuses on simulating dynamical systems (SIR model, replicator dynamics) rather than using pre-existing, publicly available datasets for training/testing. While the models are well-known, no concrete access information for a specific dataset is provided.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific dataset split information (e.g., percentages, sample counts) for training, validation, or testing, as it focuses on simulations of dynamical systems rather than traditional machine learning datasets.
Hardware Specification No They were run on Google Colab with default compute resources.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details with version numbers (e.g., specific Python, PyTorch, or TensorFlow versions used).
