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 By conducting extensive experiments across different architectures and datasets, our results demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art Pa I methods while it is able to discover subnetworks that have much lower inference FLOPs (up to 3.4 ).

Pseudocode Yes We describe our method in Algorithm 1 and the pseudo code for optimizer in Appendix C.
Open Source Code Yes Code is available at: https://github.com/pvh1602/NPB.
Open Datasets Yes We conduct experiments on three standard datasets: CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and Tiny-Imagenet.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and Tiny-Imagenet datasets, but does not explicitly provide information on training/validation/test splits by percentages or counts.
Hardware Specification Yes We use Pytorch 2 library and conduct experiments on a single GTX 3090Ti or A100 (depend on their available).
Software Dependencies Yes We use Pytorch 2 library and conduct experiments on a single GTX 3090Ti or A100 (depend on their available). ... We use the default mixed integer programming solver in CVXPY library
