Many systems like autonomous vehicle fleets and drone swarms can be modeled as Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) tasks, which deal with how multiple machines can learn to collaborate, ...

A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this ...

Clarissa Carneiro, a meta scientist and currently the co-executive director at the Brazilian Reproducibility Network, experienced the reproducibility challenge firsthand. As an undergraduate student ...

The ability to replicate research findings remains a mainstay of the scientific process, allowing experts to assess and challenge an evolving evidence base. But a growing body of research shows that ...

If an experiment is repeated under similar conditions, the results should be the same. In reality, the situation is often different—scientists speak of a "reproducibility crisis," which affects ...

The use of images in scientific papers is more popular than ever, but there have been no common standards for their publication -- until now. Images created by a plethora of high-tech instruments are ...
