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 | We performed a comprehensive evaluation to analyze the performance of PAL on a variety of deep learning optimization tasks. Therefore, we tested PAL on commonly used architectures on CIFAR-10 [31], CIFAR-100 [31] and Image Net [13]. ... All in all, we trained over 4500 networks with Tensorflow 1.15 [1] on Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 TI graphic cards. |

| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1 The basic version of our proposed line search algorithm. See Section 4 for details. ... The full version of PAL including all additions is given in Appendix B Algorithm 2. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper mentions using "TensorFlow 1.15" but does not state that the authors' own implementation code for PAL is open-source or provide a link to it. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | We focus on CIFAR-10, as it is extensively analyzed in optimization research for deep learning. However, on random samples of MNIST, CIFAR-100 and Image Net we observed the same results. ... We performed a comprehensive evaluation to analyze the performance of PAL on a variety of deep learning optimization tasks. Therefore, we tested PAL on commonly used architectures on CIFAR-10 [31], CIFAR-100 [31] and Image Net [13]. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper mentions using validation accuracy but does not specify the explicit training, validation, and test dataset splits (e.g., percentages or exact counts) needed for reproduction. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | All in all, we trained over 4500 networks with Tensorflow 1.15 [1] on Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 TI graphic cards. |
| Software Dependencies | Yes | All in all, we trained over 4500 networks with Tensorflow 1.15 [1]... |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | A detailed explanation of the experiments including hyperparameters and data augmentations used are given in Appendix D.8. |
