Research Type Experimental 6 Experimental Evaluation In this section, we show the effectiveness of the proposed ranking strategy resp-cap by answering the following two questions. Q1: Can its two indicators (i.e., responsibility and capability) partly capture the intuition of causal effects? Q2: Can this integrated ranking strategy capture two faces of causal effects and thus improve performance?

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Appresp Input: The SCP form of the propagation history Φ, the involved edge set T, and an edge t ∈ T Output: The approximate responsibility of t
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement about open-sourcing the code or a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes Dataset. We use a real-world dataset ego-Facebook [Mc Auley and Leskovec, 2012], which contains 4,039 nodes and 88,234 undirected links.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not explicitly state training/validation/test dataset splits with percentages or counts, nor does it refer to predefined splits with citations for reproducibility.
Hardware Specification No To obtain the ranking ground truth, we run randomized experiments to get DCE values on four servers (with 8 cores and 32GB memory) for 100–400 hours for each dataset. This description lacks specific CPU/GPU models or detailed processor information.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not specify any software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow versions, or specific solver versions).
Experiment Setup Yes In the integrated resp-cap methods, we all set the parameter λ=0.5.
