Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical In this paper we provide the first provably sample efficient adaptive algorithm for this problem. Along the way we highlight connections between classification, combinatorial bandits, and FDR control making contributions to each.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Action Elimination for Active Classification; Algorithm 2: Active FDR control in persistent and bounded noise settings.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any concrete access to source code for the methodology described.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and analyzes algorithms; it does not conduct new experiments requiring its own training data. Figure 1 is a reproduction of data from prior work [33].
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not present new empirical experiments, thus no dataset splits for validation are discussed.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not describe any hardware used for experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithms and their analysis, not on their implementation details or specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and defines algorithms and analyzes their properties, not their implementation setup or hyperparameters.
