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..

Pseudocode No The paper describes methods using mathematical equations and textual explanations, but does not include any clearly labeled pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No Answer: [No] Justification: Model weights are public. We intend to release the code pending internal review.
Open Datasets Yes Datasets and Evaluation Metrics. We evaluate AD-TP on 8 tasks from the GLUE benchmark and extend the evaluation to two long-text datasets: SQu AD v2.0 [31] and 20News [32].
Dataset Splits Yes Datasets and Evaluation Metrics. We evaluate AD-TP on 8 tasks from the GLUE benchmark and extend the evaluation to two long-text datasets: SQu AD v2.0 [31] and 20News [32]. Each GLUE task adopts task-specific evaluation metrics; SQu AD v2.0 is evaluated using the F1 score, while 20News uses accuracy. ... The teacher is trained for 5 epochs on each task, and the best validation checkpoint is used for evaluation.
Hardware Specification Yes All experiments are implemented in Py Torch with Huggingface Transformers on an NVIDIA RTX 3060. ... All experiments are implemented using the Py Torch framework and the Huggingface Transformers library on a single NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU.
Software Dependencies No All experiments are implemented using the Py Torch framework and the Huggingface Transformers library on a single NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU. The paper mentions software names (PyTorch, Huggingface Transformers) but does not provide specific version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes Implementation Details. All experiments are implemented in Py Torch with Huggingface Transformers on an NVIDIA RTX 3060. The teacher is a 12-layer BERT-base, and the student uses either 6 or 12 layers. We tune learning rates and distillation weights (α, β, γ) across defined ranges. All hyperparameter configurations and dataset-specific settings are provided in Appendix A.3. ... Detailed task-specific configurations are reported in Table 7.
