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 The main conclusion from our analysis (Theorems 1 and 2) is that for classifiers defined by convex margin-based surrogate losses that are decreasing, it is impossible to come up with any semi-supervised approach that is able to guarantee safe improvement.
