| Popis: | Increased reproducibility of machine learning research has been a driving force for dramatic improvements in learning performances. The scientific community further fosters this effort by including reproducibility ratings in reviewer forms and considering them as a crucial factor for the overall evaluation of papers. Accompanying source code is not sufficient to make a work reproducible. The shared codes should meet the ML reproducibility checklist as well. This work aims to support reproducibility evaluations of papers with source codes. We propose an end-to-end system that operates on the Readme file of the source code repositories. The system checks the compliance of a given Readme to a template proposed by a widely used platform for sharing source codes of research. Our system generates scores based on a custom function to combine section scores. We also train a hierarchical transformer model to assign a class label to a given Readme. The experimental results show that the section similarity-based system performs better than the hierarchical transformer. Moreover, it has an advantage regarding explainability since one can directly relate the score to the sections of Readme files. Comment: 8 pages, 1 figures |
