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..

| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1 Coreset VCL |
| Open Source Code | Yes | An implementation of the methods proposed in this paper can be found at: https://github.com/ nvcuong/variational-continual-learning. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | Permuted MNIST: This is a popular continual learning benchmark (Goodfellow et al., 2014a; Kirkpatrick et al., 2017; Zenke et al., 2017). |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper mentions training and testing but does not explicitly provide the specific training, validation, and test dataset splits with percentages or counts. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide specific hardware details such as GPU models, CPU types, or memory specifications used for running the experiments. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper mentions using the 'Adam optimizer' but does not specify software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., specific versions of Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or other libraries). |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | For all algorithms, we use fully connected single-head networks with two hidden layers, where each layer contains 100 hidden units with Re LU activations. |
