Summary:

In the AI4Europe workshop, Rafael Tolosana Calasanz and Andrea Hrčková delve into the impact of reproducibility in AI research. Andrea will identify and address key challenges encountered by PhD students during replication and reproducibility studies, drawing from her own research findings.

Following Andrea’s presentation, Rafael will introduce essential reproducibility tools within the AI on Demand (AIoD) architecture, such as RAIL, REANA, and the catalog. He will further explore actionable strategies for fostering reproducibility within the AI community through the AIoD reproducibility process. The aim of this talk is to equip researchers with practical insights and tools to enhance reproducibility in their work, thereby advancing scientific integrity and progress in the field of AI.

Additionally, the subsequent DisAI session will feature presentations on replication studies conducted by doctoral and master’s students. These presentations will offer valuable insights into the diverse approaches and methodologies employed at this academic level, further enriching the discussion on reproducibility in AI research. The challenge organizers anticipate the participation of the international mentors of these students as well.
