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 use simulations, as well as an experiment using a real quantum computer, to verify that the theoretical quantum speedup achieved by our Q-GP-UCB is also potentially relevant in practice.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Q-GP-UCB
Open Source Code No The paper states: "We use the Qiskit python package to implement the QMC algorithm (Lemma 1) following the recent work of [20]." and discusses running experiments on IBM quantum computers, but does not provide a link to their own source code for Q-GP-UCB.
Open Datasets Yes In the Auto ML experiment, an SVM is used for diabetes diagnosis. That is, we adopt the diabetes diagnosis dataset which can be found at https://www.kaggle.com/uciml/ pima-indians-diabetes-database, which is under the CC0 license.
Dataset Splits Yes We use 70% of the dataset as the training set and the remaining dataset as the validation set.
Hardware Specification Yes All our experiments are run on a computer with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6326 CPU @ 2.90GHz, with 64 CPUs.
Software Dependencies Yes We use the Qiskit python package to implement the QMC algorithm (Lemma 1) following the recent work of [20].
Experiment Setup Yes For our Q-GP-UCB, we choose beta_s = 1 + log s, s >= 1 following the order given by the theoretical value of beta_s (Theorem 3). For classical GP-UCB, we tried different approaches to setting beta_s: beta_s = sqrt(2) and beta_s = 1, all of which are commonly adopted practices in BO; we found that beta_s = sqrt(2) and beta_s = 1 have led to the best performances for GP-UCB in, respectively, the synthetic and Auto ML experiments.
