Colelough, B., Martirosyan, V., et al. (2026). "6.5% of the Neuro-Symbolic Literature Can Be Reproduced from Its Published Artifacts, a Six-Stage Audit Framework and First Instantiation." arXiv pre-print.

Co-first author on a six-stage framework for auditing whether the claims in a research literature can be reproduced from the artifacts their authors published, instantiated on neuro-symbolic AI. We retrieved 5,497 records, screened 2,479 unique papers down to 1,304 eligible studies, and found no verifiable public code for 849 of them. Of the 455 that entered the rerun, we fully or partially reproduced 85 — 6.5% of the eligible corpus — with most failures caused by missing non-code artifacts rather than missing code.
