ML has reproducibility issues despite the status quo being open models. Even if we don&amp;#x27;t include proprietary datasets there are still issues. Compute is one issue, but we can even ignore that[0]. The Lottery Ticket[1,2] plays a big role, in that you can just get lucky. This really should have resulted in treating benchmarks as weaker indicators but see other comments about reviewing incentives. Another issue is that it is status quo to optimize hyperparameters on test data and this results in information leakage. While this won&amp;#x27;t affect results of running a checkpoint…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2109.08203/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
