Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental In this section, we compare the weight of review assignments computed using different methods and analyze the occurrences of review cycles. For this, we use a dataset from the 2018 International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 18) prepared by Xu et al. (2019).

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: A greedy algorithm computing a dpaperdpaper-valid completely cycle-free assignment E . And Algorithm 2: Greedy algorithm to compute a creviewerdpaper-valid z-cycle-free review assignment E .
Open Source Code Yes The code for our experiments is available at github.com/nboehmer/Combating-Collusion-Rings-is-Hard-but-Possible.
Open Datasets Yes For this, we use a dataset from the 2018 International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 18) prepared by Xu et al. (2019).
Dataset Splits No From the dataset of Xu et al. (2019), we created multiple instances of WEIGHTED CYCLE-FREE REVIEWING as follows. Given a number n P of papers and a ratio r AP of the numbers of agents and papers, we sample a subset of n P of the 911 ICLR 18 papers and set this as our set of papers. Subsequently, we compute the set of all authors of one of these papers and sample a subset of r AP n P authors and set this as our set of agents. The paper does not specify train/validation/test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper states that "(I)LPs were solved using Gurobi Optimization, LLC (2021)" and provides timing comparisons, but it does not specify the hardware (e.g., CPU, GPU, memory) on which these experiments were run.
Software Dependencies Yes We solved all (I)LPs using Gurobi Optimization, LLC (2021).
Experiment Setup Yes As done in other papers using the same dataset, we focus on the case with dpaper = 3 and creviewer = 6, i.e., every paper needs exactly three reviews and each agent can review at most six papers (Xu et al. 2019; Jecmen et al. 2020). And Given a number n P of papers and a ratio r AP of the numbers of agents and papers, we sample a subset of n P of the 911 ICLR 18 papers and set this as our set of papers. Subsequently, we compute the set of all authors of one of these papers and sample a subset of r AP n P authors and set this as our set of agents.
