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 Computing ELBO for Fadeout |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not provide a specific link or explicit statement about the availability of its own source code for the described methodology. |
| Open Datasets | No | We generated synthetic couplings for two kinds of Ising systems... We sampled synthetic data for each system with the Swendsen-Wang algorithm (Appendix) (Swendsen & Wang, 1987). and We applied the hierarchical Bayesian model from the protein simulation to model across-species amino acid covariation in the SH3 domain family (Figure 6). The paper does not provide concrete access information for the datasets used. |
| Dataset Splits | No | No specific details on train/validation/test splits, such as percentages or sample counts for each partition, were provided for full reproducibility, although a test set is mentioned. |
| Hardware Specification | No | Portions of this work were conducted on the Orchestra HPC Cluster at Harvard Medical School. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not provide specific software dependency details with version numbers (e.g., Python 3.8, PyTorch 1.9). |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper does not provide specific details on hyperparameters, training configurations, or system-level settings for the experiments. |
