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 Shift Toward Open and Reproducible AI Research," Under Review, 2026. doi: 10.48550/arXiv.2606.16974..

| Research Type | Experimental | We evaluate the efficacy of LISO extensively across multiple datasets. We demonstrate that at test-time, with unseen cover images and random bit strings, the optimizer can reliably circumvent bad local minima and find a low-error solution within only a few iterative steps that already outperforms all previous encoder-decoder-based approaches. |

| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1 Iterative Optimization |
| Open Source Code | Yes | The code for LISO is available at https://github.com/cxy1997/LISO. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | We evaluate our method on three public datasets: 1) Div2k (Agustsson & Timofte, 2017) which is a scenic images dataset, 2) Celeb A (Liu et al., 2018) which consists of facial images of celebrities, and 3) MS COCO (Lin et al., 2014) which contains images of common household objects and scenes. |
| Dataset Splits | Yes | For Celeb A and MS COCO we use the first 1000 for validation and the following 1,000 for training. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | The reported times were the average times on Div2k s validation set and the methods were run on a Nvidia Titan RTX GPU. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not provide specific version numbers for software dependencies such as Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or other libraries. It only implies their use through the nature of the research. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | During training, we set the number of encoder iterations T = 15, the step size ฮท = 1, the decay ฮณ = 0.8 and loss weights ฮป = ยต = 1. During inference, we use a smaller step size ฮท = 0.1 for a larger number of iterations T; we iterate until the error rate converges. |
