Pseudocode No The paper does not contain structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code Yes The code for the proposed PCVAE is available at:https://github.com/xguo7/PCVAE.
Open Datasets Yes The d Sprites dataset (Matthey et al., 2017) consists of 2D shapes procedurally generated from ground truth independent semantic factors. The 3Dshapes dataset (Burgess & Kim, 2018) consists of 3D shapes procedurally generated from ground truth independent semantic factors. The QM9 dataset (Ramakrishnan et al., 2014) consists of 134k stable small organic molecules
Dataset Splits No For the d Sprites, 3Dshapes, and QM9 datasets, the paper specifies "training/testing set split" but does not explicitly mention a separate validation set split or its size/methodology.
Hardware Specification Yes All experiments were conducted on a 64-bit machine with an NVIDIA GPU (GTX 1080 Ti, 11016 MHz, 11 GB GDDR5).
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software names with version numbers for dependencies, only general mentions of MLPs, CNNs, GNNs, and spectral normalization.
Experiment Setup Yes The architectures and hyper-parameters can be found in Appendix B. (In Appendix B, Table 6 specifies 'Learning rate', 'Batch size', 'α', 'ρ', 'Num iteration', 'c (spectral norm)' for d Sprites and QM9 datasets).
