Experiences with Reproducible Research in Various Facets of Signal Processing Research

How often have you been able to implement an algorithm as it is described in a paper? And when you did, were you confident that you had exactly the same parameter values and results as the authors of the paper? All too often, articles do not describe all the details of an algorithm and thus prohibit an implementation by someone else. In this paper, we describe our experience with reproducible research, a paradigm to allow other people to reproduce with minimal effort the results we have obtained. We discuss both the reproducibility of data and algorithms, and give examples for each of them. The effort required to make research reproducible is compensated by a higher visibility and impact of the results. © 2007 IEEE. ispartof: pages:1253-1256 ispartof: ICASSP, IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing - Proceedings vol:4 pages:1253-1256 ispartof: 32nd IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing location:HI, Honolulu date:15 Apr - 20 Apr 2007 status: published
