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 does not contain any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | Yes | The code for our approach is publicly available at https://github.com/Jianbo-Lab/CCM. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | We carry out experiments on 12 standard benchmark tasks from the ASU feature selection website [17] and the UCI repository [18]. |
| Dataset Splits | Yes | Performance is then measured by training a kernel SVM on the top m features and computing the resulting accuracy as measured by 5-fold cross-validation. |
| Hardware Specification | No | No specific hardware details (e.g., CPU, GPU models, or cloud computing specifications) are provided for running experiments. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper mentions using "Scikit-learn [20] and Scikit-feature [17] packages" and the "author’s implementation for BAHSIC2" but does not provide specific version numbers for these software components. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | For kernel-based methods, we use a Gaussian kernel k(x, x) = exp( kx xk2/(2σ2)) on X and a linear kernel k(y, y) = y T y on Y . We take σ to be the median pairwise distance between samples scaled by 1/√2. We use " = 0.001 for the classification tasks and " = 0.1 for the regression task, selecting these values from {0.001, 0.01, 0.1} using cross-validation. For our own algorithm, we fix " = 0.001 across all experiments and set the number of desired features to m = 100 if d > 100 or dd/5e otherwise. In all cases we fix the regularization constant of the SVM to C = 1. |
