Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Our experiments can be reproduced in Colab 1 and the code is available on Git Hub 2. We build on their work and make observations, theoretical and empirical, that lead us to argue that SBDRL requires interaction with environments. We propose empirical implementations that are able to successfully approximate these analytically defined representations. We empirically demonstrate the efficiency of using SB-disentangled for a downstream task (learning an inverse model).

Pseudocode Yes The training procedure is presented in Algorithm 1 in Appendix C.2
Open Source Code Yes Our experiments can be reproduced in Colab 1 and the code is available on Git Hub 2. 2https://github.com/Caselles/Neur IPS19-SBDRL 4https://github.com/Caselles/Neur IPS19-SBDRL
Open Datasets Yes We implement this simple environment using Flatland (Caselles-Dupré et al., 2018). We collect 10k transitions (ot, at, ot+1).
Dataset Splits Yes We then report the 10-fold cross-validation mean accuracy as a function of the maximum depth parameter of random forest, which controls the capacity of the classifier.
Hardware Specification No The paper mentions that experiments can be reproduced in 'Colab' but does not provide any specific hardware details such as GPU/CPU models or memory.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'Scikit-learn (Pedregosa et al., 2011)' and 'Pytorch (Paszke et al., 2017)' but does not provide specific version numbers for these software dependencies.
Experiment Setup No All architecture and hyperparameters details are specified in Appendix B. This statement indicates that the specific experimental setup details are not provided in the main text.
