If you want to make code/data “available”, GitHub isn’t enough.
You must deposit at a DOI-issuing data repository @figshare & @ZENODO_org are both free & awesome; can be synced w/ a GitHub repo

GitHub is a place for things to be worked on, not for them to live forever.
- Links are fragile (username, repo name)
- Users can delete repos
- GitHub could make your code/data unavailable in the future.
DOI-issuing data repositories preserve your stuff for the future 2/4

Depositing on @KaggleDatasets isn’t good enough for #OpenAccess #OpenData either.
- No API for accessing files without an account
- Fragile URLs
- Kaggle Datasets is a commercial thing.
Do all three! GitHub repo, Kaggle Dataset and @figshare or @ZENODO_ORG 3/4

Five hours in @Reagan_Airport and still here; twice rebooked due to thunderstorms—hope I make it to Boston tonight for tomorrow's IEEE #reproducibility workshop.
As the @IEEEorg steps into the #reproducibility discussion, I'm really hoping they'll pay attention to terminology—"Terminologies for Reproducible Research" arxiv.org/abs/1802.03311
My assessment after reviewing literature from more than a dozen fields is that the predominant usage for #reproducibility is “same data+same methods=same results.”
Stell: Scientists are not the only people whose work relies on accuracy of published work - also basis for current and future research, public policy, etc #ResearchMisconduct
Stell: cites the #Poldermans case and how flawed publication that made its way into guidelines led to 8000 deaths
Third #ResearchMisconduct presentation by Bernhard Rupp: The action is in the re(tr)action @FEBSnews #FEBS2018
Rupp breaks with convention and walks away from the podium #WanderingSpeaker
Rupp: valid concerns exist about incorrect and irreproducible research, but is there a "reproducibility crisis"? #ResearchMisconduct
How many random seeds are needed to compare #DeepRL algorithms?

Algo1 and Algo2 are two famous #DeepRL algorithms, here tested
on the Half-Cheetah #opengym benchmark.
Many papers in the litterature compare using 4-5 random seeds,
like on this graph which suggests that Algo1 is best.
Is this really the case?

However, more robust statistical tests show there are no differences.
For a very good reason: Algo1 and Algo2 are both the same @openAI baseline
implementation of DDPG, same parameters!
This is what is called a "Type I error" in statistics.
