Notice: This website is continuously updated as new conference proceedings and journal volumes are published. Consequently, the figures presented here may differ from those reported in our publications.


A brief overview of our methodology is provided on the Methods page, along with references to publications documenting our approach and links to the code and data used in each study.


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.

Research Type Theoretical We present two related contributions of independent interest: (1) high-probability finite sample rates for k-NN density estimation, and (2) practical mode estimators based on k-NN which attain minimax-optimal rates under surprisingly general distributional conditions. The proof of these results are concise applications of Lemma 2 above. They are given in the appendix (long version).
