ArtiFinder scrapes conference papers directly and identifies links to their artifacts, independently of any artifact-evaluation (AE) process. This page summarises the ArtiFinder links that ReproDB ingests from the ArtiFinder-Data repository and how they have grown over time.

These links are not manually verified. ArtiFinder-discovered artifacts carry no badges and are excluded from every ReproDB score (artifact rate, reproducibility rate, combined score, institution and author rankings). They are shown for discovery purposes only, marked with an Artifinder sign wherever they appear in search and profiles. The one exception is repository statistics: when ArtiFinder finds a GitHub repository for a paper that did go through AE, that repository may be counted in the repository stats.

Across 6346 scanned papers in CCS, NDSS, SP, USENIXSEC, ArtiFinder discovered 3570 artifact links. ArtiFinder data last updated 2026-06-19 (only editions from 2017–2025 onward are included).

Discovered Artifacts Over Time

Number of ArtiFinder-discovered artifact links per year, split by whether the paper also went through artifact evaluation (AE) in ReproDB. Papers that never went through AE make up the bulk of ArtiFinder’s coverage.

Discovery Rate Over Time

Share of scanned papers for which ArtiFinder found an artifact link, per year. This is a coverage measure of ArtiFinder itself, not an artifact-evaluation rate.

By Conference

Discovered artifact links per conference, and how many were matched to an AE paper tracked by ReproDB.

Conference Timeline Heatmap

Discovered artifact links by conference and year. Darker cells indicate more discovered artifacts that year.
