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 The simulation results are provided in the Appendix E to validate its effectiveness. ... E Experiments Setup. We consider a network consisting of 101 units. ... Results. The simulation results are shown in Fig. 3(a) and Fig. 3(b). As seen in Fig. 3(a), both the Standard method and UCB-TSN achieve the lowest cumulative regret, while Uniform exhibits the highest cumulative regret. Fig. 3(b) presents a box plot of the maximum ATE estimation error, eอด(T, ^ ), where the green line represents the median.

Open Datasets No The paper describes a simulation environment (
Dataset Splits No The paper describes a simulation setup, not a dataset with predefined splits. It specifies 'a network consisting of 101 units' and 'Each algorithm is executed 1000 times', which refers to simulation runs rather than dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not mention any specific hardware used for running the simulations.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list any specific software dependencies or their versions.
Experiment Setup Yes Setup. We consider a network consisting of 101 units. Specifically, there is a central cluster C1 = {1} that contains a single unit, which is connected to every unit in the five peripheral clusters C2, . . . , C6 (namely, C2 = {2, . . . , 21}, C3 = {22, . . . , 41}, C4 = {42, . . . , 61}, C5 = {62, . . . , 81}, and C6 = {82, . . . , 101}, with each outer cluster containing 20 units, as shown in Fig. 2). We set the action set as K = {0, 1}. ... We evaluate the performance of UCB-TSN (T1 = p |UE| T) against two baseline methods: Standard (i.e., UCB-TSN with T1 = 0) and Uniform (i.e., UCB-TSN with T1 = T). Each algorithm is executed 1000 times, and we report the averaged results.
