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 | Specifically, we show both theoretically and via an extensive empirical evaluation that the SNR of the gradient estimates for the latent variable s variational parameters decreases as the number of importance samples increases. |
