Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in Coakley et alK. L. Coakley, T. Snelleman, H. Hoos, and O. E. Gundersen, "The embrace of open science: An analysis of a decade of AI research and 56 800 conference papers," Under Review, 2026..

Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Empirical results across reasoning, planning, alignment, and decision-making tasks show that TS-LLM outperforms existing approaches and can handle trees with a depth of 64.
Researcher Affiliation Academia 1Shanghai Jiao Tong University 2University College London 3Carnegie Mellon University.
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Simplied MCTS Simulation; Algorithm 2 MCTS-Rollout; Algorithm 3 MCTS-α
Open Source Code Yes Our code is open-sourced at https://github.com/waterhorse1/LLM_Tree_Search.
Open Datasets Yes GSM8k (Cobbe et al., 2021), Game24 (Yao et al., 2023), Pr Onto QA (Saparov & He, 2022), RLHF alignment task using synthetic RLHF data (Dahoas), and chess endgames (Abdulhai et al., 2023).
Dataset Splits Yes We split the dataset to 30000/3000 as training and test set respectively.
Hardware Specification Yes The experiments were conducted on the same machine with 8 NVIDIA A800 GPUs, the CPU information is Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8336C CPU @ 2.30GHz.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions models like LLaMA2-7B and GPT-2-small, but does not specify software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., PyTorch version, CUDA version).
Experiment Setup Yes The training is conducted on 8 NVIDIA A800 GPUs, using a cosine scheduler decaying from lr=2e-5 to 0.0 with a warmup ratio of 0.03, batch size 128 for 3 epochs. We set temperature=1.0, top p=1.0, top k=100 when using LLM to generate tree actions.
