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 7. Experiments We showcase the versatility of our method on several applications. We typically use between 16K and 256K samples per input distribution to approximate the power cell density and barycenter.

Experiment Setup Yes In our experiments, we use α = 10^-3 and β = 0.99. Convergence of the accelerated gradient method can be shown when α = 1/L where L is the Lipschitz constant of F; in 6, we give an estimate of this constant. Our convergence criterion for this step is ||F||_2^2 < ε. We typically use between 16K and 256K samples per input distribution to approximate the power cell density and barycenter. The variance is due to different problem sizes and dimensionality of the input measures. We stop the gradient ascent step when ||F||_2^2 < 10^-6.
