Improving Reproducibility of Data Science Pipelines through Transparent Provenance Capture
Summary: URSPRUNG integrates with execution environments to automatically capture static and runtime config, without code changes. It fuses system-level provenance with app-level signals (logs, stdout) via a DSL, achieving ~4% overhead. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
