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 Experimental Our extensive experiments across diverse transformer architectures on a variety of tasks demonstrate the superior performance and substantial computation savings of SMo E-Dropout
Researcher Affiliation Academia 1VITA Group, University of Texas at Austin EMAIL
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Concrete Dropout in a Py Torch-like style
Open Source Code Yes Codes and models are available in https://github.com/VITA-Group/Random-Mo E-as-Dropout.
Open Datasets Yes Transformer-XL is pre-trained on enwik8 (Mahoney, 2011) dataset, while we use Books Corpus (Zhu et al., 2015) for BERT and Ro BERTa.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions evaluating on 'the hold-out validation set' but does not specify its size, percentage, or how it was split from the main dataset.
Hardware Specification Yes {1 RTX A6000, batch size 22} and {8 V100, batch size 64} are adopted for time measurements of Transformer-XL and BERT/Ro BERTa, respectively.
Software Dependencies No The paper references Hugging Face and provides PyTorch-like pseudocode, but does not specify version numbers for these software components or any other libraries.
Experiment Setup Yes For Transformer-XL, we follow the official training setups, using Adam optimizer and the learning rate starts from 2.5 10 4 and decreases according to a cosine annealing scheduler. We use a batch size of 22 and optimize the network for 4 105 iterations. As for BERT pre-training, we adopt an Adam W optimizer with an initial learning rate of 5 10 5 that linearly decays to 0. The batch size and total training steps are 64 and 1 105, respectively.
