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.

Pseudocode No The paper describes methods using prose and equations, but does not include any explicitly labeled pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code Yes The code can be found at https://rb.gy/tdpc4y.
Open Datasets Yes We study the Walker and Quadruped tasks in Lee et al. (2021), with 1000 and 2000 synthetic queries, respectively. ... We conducted tests on 3 of the Open AI Gym Mu Jo Co Environments also used in Christiano et al. (2017): Swimmer, Hopper and Cheetah.
Dataset Splits No The paper refers to 'training data samples' and 'test data' but does not specify explicit training, validation, and test dataset splits with percentages or counts.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details such as GPU/CPU models, processor types, or memory amounts used for running experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions various algorithms and environments but does not specify any software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes We use the same neural network structures for both the reward predictor and control policy and the same hyperparameters as in Lee et al. (2021). ... We used the same neural network structures for both the reward predictor and control policy and the same hyperparameters as in Christiano et al. (2017).
