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 In this section, we provide some numerical simulations to validate our theoretical results. The target distribution is a synthetic autoregressive model with given coefficients. Here d = 2. We use Euler method to obtain 2000000 samples to estimate the KL divergence.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Euler method (e.g., in [10, 22]) Algorithm 2: Tweedie τ-leaping [10] Algorithm 3: Truncated τ-leaping (used in Appendix H)
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any explicit statements about the release of source code, nor does it provide any links to code repositories. The NeurIPS Paper Checklist for 'Experimental result reproducibility' and 'Open access to data and code' states: 'The paper does not contain experimental results.'
Open Datasets No The target distribution is a synthetic autoregressive model with given coefficients.
Dataset Splits No The paper uses synthetic data and performs numerical simulations, but does not describe any training/test/validation splits for a real dataset. It mentions obtaining '2000000 samples to estimate the KL divergence' and '30000 samples to estimate the TV distance', which refers to sample sizes for simulation, not dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The NeurIPS Paper Checklist for 'Experiments compute resources' states: 'The paper does not contain experimental results.' Therefore, no hardware specifications are provided.
Software Dependencies No The NeurIPS Paper Checklist for 'Experiments compute resources' states: 'The paper does not contain experimental results.' Therefore, no software dependencies with version numbers are provided.
