For some years now, the problem that many studies cannot be successfully reproduced has been discussed in the empirical sciences. What began with the replication crisis in psychology is now a major issue in many disciplines, including the life sciences. In this panel, scientists and practitioners from the frontier between life sciences and computer science will discuss the reproducibility of research in the life sciences, with a particular focus on machine learning methods. What options already exist and what can be done in the future to maintain the quality of, as well as trust in, science?
