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 [1].

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Arm Elimination with Adaptive Embedding and Induced Misspecification; Algorithm 2 Neural Arm Elimination
Open Source Code No The paper does not include a statement or link indicating that the source code for their methodology is publicly available.
Open Datasets Yes MNIST dataset [29] contains hand-written digits from 0 to 9. ... The MNIST database of handwritten digits. http://yann. lecun. com/exdb/mnist/, 1998. Yahoo dataset. The Yahoo! User Click Log Dataset R6A6 contains users click-through records. ... 6https://webscope.sandbox.yahoo.com
Dataset Splits No The paper describes sampling from datasets and the setup for pure exploration, but it does not specify explicit training, validation, and test dataset splits with percentages or sample counts typically used for model reproduction in supervised learning tasks.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., CPU/GPU models, memory) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., 'Python 3.8, PyTorch 1.9') needed to replicate the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes In our experiments, we set ϵ = 0.1 and δ = 0.05. All results are averaged over 50 runs. ... We first generate the feature matrix f X = X + E RK D where X is constructed as a rank-2 matrix and E is a perturbation matrix with tiny spectral norm (See Appendix G for details).
