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 | We perform experiments to confirm our theoretical speed-ups obtained for Adapt Smooth and Adapt Reg. We work on minimizing Lasso and SVM objectives for the following three well-known datasets that can be found on the Lib SVM website [10]: covtype, mnist, and rcv1. |

| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1 The Adapt Reg Reduction Input: an objective F( ) in Case 2 (smooth and not necessarily strongly convex); x0 a starting vector, σ0 an initial regularization parameter, T the number of epochs; an algorithm A that solves Case 1 of problem (1.1). Output: bx T . |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not contain any explicit statement about making the source code available or provide a link to a code repository. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | We work on minimizing Lasso and SVM objectives for the following three well-known datasets that can be found on the Lib SVM website [10]: covtype, mnist, and rcv1.

| Dataset Splits | No | The paper mentions deferring 'dataset and implementation details' to the full version but does not provide specific training/test/validation dataset splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or citations to predefined splits) in the provided text. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., exact GPU/CPU models, processor types, or memory amounts) used for running its experiments. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper refers to methods like APCG [20] and SVRG [14] and mentions using datasets from the Lib SVM website [10], but it does not provide specific version numbers for any software components, libraries, or solvers used in the experiments. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper describes some practical implementation details such as termination criteria for the oracle in the inner loop (e.g., duality gap below 1/4 or Euclidean norm below 1/3 of the previous epoch), and ranges for regularization weights (e.g., {10k, 3 · 10k : k ∈ Z}). However, it does not provide specific hyperparameter values like learning rates, batch sizes, or optimizer settings for the experiments. |
