Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in [1].

Research Type Theoretical Our main contribution is a polynomial-time algorithm to compute an allocation x that is e1/e 1.445-approximation of the optimal NSW when the agents have CASC valuation functions. The allocation x our algorithm computes is also approximately EF1, i.e., the allocation is 1/(2 + γ)-EF1 such that for any two agents i and k, ui(xi) 1/(2 + γ) ui(xk \ {g}) for some g xk for any given constant γ > 0. Furthermore, x is also (1 + γ/4)-approximately Pareto-optimal when the agents have uncapped valuation functions... In this work, we present a polynomial-time algorithm that computes an approximately NSW-optimal allocation, while the allocation also approximately satisfies Pareto-optimality and EF1, for instances where the agents have CASC valuation functions.

Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any explicit statement about releasing source code for the methodology described, nor does it provide a link to a code repository or mention code in supplementary materials.
Open Datasets No The paper focuses on theoretical contributions related to fair division algorithms and valuation functions. It defines a problem setting with agents and goods, but it does not use or refer to any specific, publicly available datasets for experimental evaluation. The examples provided (e.g., in Section 4.3) are illustrative and hypothetical, not empirical evaluations on real-world data.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical experiments using datasets, so there is no mention of dataset splits for training, validation, or testing.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical, presenting algorithms and their analysis rather than empirical experiments. Therefore, no hardware specifications for running experiments are mentioned.
Software Dependencies No The paper presents a theoretical algorithm and its analysis. It does not describe an implementation or empirical evaluation, thus no specific software dependencies or version numbers are mentioned.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithmic design and approximation guarantees. It does not describe an experimental setup with hyperparameters, model initialization, or training schedules because no empirical experiments are conducted.
