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..

Research Type Experimental Extensive experiments on Phi-3 and the LLama-2/3 family demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Notably, it maintains over 95% zero-shot accuracy under 50% sparsity and achieves up to 2 inference speedup. Section 5 is titled Experiments and details the experimental setup and results.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Bilevel Optimization Framework. We present the RPCA algorithm based on QR decomposition in Appendix C.3 Algorithm 2.
Open Source Code Yes Yes, we will make our experimental code available in the supplementary materials.
Open Datasets Yes We use C4 [27] as the training dataset, ... The main benchmarks include: 1) Wiki Text2 [24] perplexity, 2) zero-shot tasks (including PIQA [3], Hella Swag [43], Winogrande [28], Open Book QA [25], RTE [35], Bool Q [5], ARC-e and ARC-c [6]), and 3) few shot tasks, like MMLU [14].
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions "We use C4 [27] as the training dataset" and "the inner-level optimization employs the fixed 32 samples as the calibration dataset." However, it does not specify explicit training/validation/test splits (e.g., percentages or exact counts) for the main datasets used in the experiments.
Hardware Specification Yes The experiments are all completed with one single 80GB NVIDIA A100. In addition, we test the CPU inference speedup of the pruned model on Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8369B CPU @ 2. 90GHz with 32 cpu cores.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using the "Adam optimizer [16]" and the "Deep Sparse engine" but does not provide specific version numbers for these or any other key software libraries, frameworks (e.g., Python, PyTorch, CUDA), or environments.
Experiment Setup Yes We use C4 [27] as the training dataset, with batch size set to 32, and length set to 256. In addition, the inner-level optimization employs the fixed 32 samples as the calibration dataset. Gamma is set from 0.05 to 0.005. In training, we use the Adam optimizer [16] and set the learning rate to 1e-2.
