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 on standard vision benchmarks including CIFAR10, CIFAR100 (Krizhevsky et al., 2009), and Image Net (Deng et al., 2009) training a Res Net20, Res Net18, and Res Net50 model, respectively. All training details are provided in Table 4 in Appendix E.
