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 ๏ฌrst show experimentally that standard gradient dynamics of the GMM-GAN often fail to converge due to mode collapse or oscillatory behavior. ... In contrast, we then show that GAN dynamics with an optimal discriminator do converge, both experimentally and provably. Section 5 is titled "Experiments". |
