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; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in [1]

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Uncertainty Sampling
Open Source Code Yes The code, data, and experiments for this paper are available on the Coda Lab platform at https://worksheets.codalab.org/worksheets/0xf8dfe5bcc1dc408fb54b3cc15a5abce8/.
Open Datasets Yes We collected 25 datasets from Open ML (retrieved August, 2017) that had a large number of data points and where logistic regression outperformed the majority classi๏ฌer (predict the majority label).
Dataset Splits No The paper states, 'We further subsampled each dataset to have 10,000 points, which was divided into 7000 training points and 3000 test points.' It mentions training and test sets, but no explicit validation set.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not specify any hardware details like GPU/CPU models or specific machine types used for experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions logistic regression and general concepts, but does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., Python, PyTorch, scikit-learn versions).
Experiment Setup Yes We ran uncertainty sampling on each dataset with random seed sets of sizes that are powers of two from 2 to 4096 and then 7000. We stopped when uncertainty sampling did not choose an unlabeled point for 1000 iterations.
