Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We prove, however, that outcomes of the important Borda rule can be explained using O(m2) steps, where m is the number of alternatives. Our main technical result is a general lower bound that, in particular, implies that the foregoing bound is asymptotically tight.

Pseudocode No The paper mentions that "Rules are typically explained to users through pseudocode" but does not provide any pseudocode or algorithm blocks for its own methods.
Open Source Code No No explicit statement or link indicating the release of source code for the methodology described in this paper.
Open Datasets No The paper mentions "election data from the 2009 mayoral election in Burlington, Vermont" as an example, but does not provide access information. It also references the "impartial culture assumption", which is a theoretical model for generating preferences, not a concrete publicly available dataset.
Dataset Splits No No experiments with data splits (training, validation, test) are described in the paper.
Hardware Specification No No specific hardware (e.g., CPU, GPU models, memory) used for computation or experiments is mentioned in the paper.
Software Dependencies No No specific software names with version numbers are mentioned that would be required to replicate the work.
Experiment Setup No No experimental setup details, such as hyperparameters or training configurations, are provided, as the paper is primarily theoretical.
