Reproducible Pattern Recognition Research: The Case of Optimistic SSL
This addresses the problem of reproducibility for researchers in pattern recognition, but it is incremental as it builds on existing reproducibility efforts without introducing new methods or data.
The paper tackles the challenge of achieving full reproducibility in pattern recognition research, specifically for a conceptual topic, by detailing the approaches, tools, and trade-offs involved, resulting in a framework that enables alternative analyses through code.
In this paper, we discuss the approaches we took and trade-offs involved in making a paper on a conceptual topic in pattern recognition research fully reproducible. We discuss our definition of reproducibility, the tools used, how the analysis was set up, show some examples of alternative analyses the code enables and discuss our views on reproducibility.
