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 [1].

Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental In this section we perform a range of synthetic experiments to demonstrate our approach. (Section 6). The paper also includes figures (e.g., Figure 2: Mean error norm x x as 𝜎2 varies...) showing experimental results from simulations.

Pseudocode No The paper describes mathematical formulations for optimization problems (25) and (26) in Section 5, and a linearization procedure for solving a non-convex problem, but does not present any of these as structured pseudocode or an algorithm block.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statement about releasing code, a link to a code repository, or mention of code in supplementary materials.
Open Datasets No The paper exclusively uses synthetic data generated for its experiments. For example, "In Fig. 2, we let x R{2,3,4,8} with x = R= 1. We vary 𝜎2 and perform 1500 trials, each with 𝑚= 100 or 𝑚= 200 pairs of points drawn according to 𝒩(0, 𝜎2𝐼)." (Section 6.1). No public datasets are mentioned or accessed.
Dataset Splits No The paper conducts simulations with synthetic data and mentions "trials" but not typical training/test/validation splits for a fixed dataset. For example, "1500 trials" (Section 6.1), "100 independent trials" (Section 6.2). These refer to experimental runs with newly generated data for each trial, not predefined splits of a static dataset.
Hardware Specification No The paper's "Simulations" section discusses experimental results but does not specify any hardware components (e.g., GPU models, CPU types, memory) used to run these simulations.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not mention any specific software libraries, frameworks, or programming languages with version numbers used for the implementation of the algorithms or simulations.
Experiment Setup Yes The paper provides several experimental setup details, such as: "In Fig. 2, we let x R{2,3,4,8} with x = R= 1. We vary 𝜎2 and perform 1500 trials, each with 𝑚= 100 or 𝑚= 200 pairs of points drawn according to 𝒩(0, 𝜎2𝐼)." (Section 6.1). In Section 6.2: "we set 𝑛= 5 and generate 𝑚= 1000 pairs of points and a random x with x = 0.7." Also, "As a rule of thumb, we set 𝜈= 2𝜅." and "we set w(𝑘+1) 𝜒 w(𝑘) + (1 𝜒) w(𝑘) with 𝜒= 0.7."
