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.

Open Source Code No The authors will release code upon acceptance.
Open Datasets Yes We validate our results on the high resolution human face dataset FFHQ 256 256 Karras et al. [2019].
Dataset Splits Yes To fairly compare between all models, all methods use the model weights from Chung et al. [2023a], which are trained on 49K FFHQ images, with 1K images left as a held-out set for evaluation.
Hardware Specification Yes Experiments can be run on any GPU A4000 or later.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'Adam optimizer Kingma and Ba [2014]' and 'standard automatic differentiation libraries (e.g. torch.func.vjp)' but does not provide specific version numbers for these software dependencies, only the underlying algorithm for Adam.
Experiment Setup Yes Further hyperparameters can be found in Table 2. For the classifier p(y|x) in MNIST class-guided classification, we use a simple convolutional neural network with two convolutional layers and two MLP layers, trained on the entire MNIST dataset.
