Investigating Reproducibility at Interspeech Conferences: A Longitudinal and Comparative Perspective. (arXiv:2306.10033v1 [cs.DL])

Reproducibility is a key aspect for scientific advancement across
disciplines, and reducing barriers for open science is a focus area for the
theme of Interspeech 2023. Availability of source code is one of the indicators
that facilitates reproducibility. However, less is known about the rates of
reproducibility at Interspeech conferences in comparison to other conferences
in the field. In order to fill this gap, we have surveyed 27,717 papers at
seven conferences across speech and language processing disciplines. We find
that despite having a close number of accepted papers to the other conferences,
Interspeech has up to 40% less source code availability. In addition to
reporting the difficulties we have encountered during our research, we also
provide recommendations and possible directions to increase reproducibility for
further studies.
