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 | Experimental | In Section 5, we demonstrate this point with mask-type augmentations on synthetic and real datasets, and show that (i) Îș depends on both the augmentation strength and the augmentation strategy; (ii) a smaller Îș (e.g. stronger augmentation) leads to a smaller generalization gap, but an overly strong augmentation causes poor training performance. Thus, there is a sweet spot in the middle with the best test performance. |

| Pseudocode | No | The paper does not contain structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | Yes | The code of Section 5 can be found at https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1lo SZLLI-qfo KE7BCIi1SWJKgru U6i4ku?usp=sharing. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | We demonstrate on the NLP dataset wikipedia-simple. We study masked language modeling, where x is a full sentence and a is a masked sentence. using QNLI (Wang et al., 2018) and SST-2 (Socher et al., 2013). |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper uses QNLI and SST-2 datasets but does not explicitly state the training, validation, and test splits used for these datasets. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | We use 8 NVIDIA A6000 GPUs for pretraining. We use 4 NVIDIA A6000 GPUs for downstream training and evaluation. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper mentions using "roberta-large models" and the "Huggingface official repository" but does not provide specific version numbers for software dependencies such as libraries, frameworks, or programming languages. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | The classifiers are trained for 3 epochs on QNLI and 6 epochs on SST-2. |
