Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Our empirical results support the usefulness of the proposed measures.
Researcher Affiliation Academia Abbavaram Gowtham Reddy Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad cs19resch11002@iith.ac.in Vineeth N Balasubramanian Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad vineethnb@iith.ac.in
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Algorithm for evaluating pairwise CNF-1, CNF-2, CNF-3
Open Source Code Yes Code to reproduce the results is presented in the supplementary material. Code is available at https://github.com/gautam0707/CD_CNF.
Open Datasets No To verify the performance of our method on a large scale, similar to [38], we generate causal graphs of various number nodes using Erdös-Rényi model.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not explicitly mention training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No All the experiments are run on a CPU.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes In these experiments, each context is a result of intervention on one node. This is the reason for having the same value for number of nodes N and number of contexts |C|. Sample size denotes the number of data points used in each context. (Table 4 shows N, |C| values and Sample Sizes)
