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.

Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical Our main positive result is a new algorithm for reliable learning of Gaussian halfspaces on Rd with sample and computational complexity d O(log(min{1/α,1/ϵ})) min(2log(1/ϵ)O(log(1/α)), 2poly(1/ϵ)) , where ϵ is the excess error and α is the bias of the optimal halfspace. We complement our upper bound with a Statistical Query lower bound suggesting that the dΩ(log(1/α)) dependence is best possible.
