| Research Type | Experimental | In this section, we present a comprehensive evaluation of Tab MT's effectiveness across an extensive range of tabular datasets. Our analysis involves a thorough comparison with state-of-the-art approaches, encompassing nearly all generative model families. To ensure a robust assessment, we evaluate across several dimensions and metrics. |

| Pseudocode | Yes | Detailed pseudocode is available in the Appendix. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link to open-source code for the described methodology. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | For our data quality and privacy experiments we use the same list of datasets and data splits as Tab DDPM[12]. These 15 datasets range in size from 400 samples to 150, 000 samples. They contain continuous, categorical, and integer features. The datasets range from 6 to 50 columns. For our scaling experiments we use the CIDDS-001[20] dataset, which consists of Netflow traffic from a simulated small business network. |
| Dataset Splits | Yes | For our data quality and privacy experiments we use the same list of datasets and data splits as Tab DDPM[12]. [...] We do not use anomalous traffic from the dataset, and randomly select 5% of the dataset as the validation set for reporting results. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | Each data quality experiment was conducted using a single A10 GPU each. [...] Each model was trained on a single A10 GPU with the exception of Tab MT-L which was trained using 4 V100s. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper mentions using the 'Adam W[14] optimizer' and 'Cat Boost[6]' models, but does not provide specific version numbers for any software libraries, frameworks, or programming languages used in the implementation. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | We use the Adam W[14] optimizer with a learning rate of 0.002 and weight decay of 0.01, a batch size of 2048 and a cosine annealing learning rate schedule for 350,000 training steps and 10000 warm-up steps.
