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 | Theoretical | The main conclusion from our analysis (Theorems 1 and 2) is that for classifiers defined by convex margin-based surrogate losses that are decreasing, it is impossible to come up with any semi-supervised approach that is able to guarantee safe improvement. |
