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 We prove the first accuracy and approximate truthfulness guarantees for forecasting competitions with correlated events. To quantify correlation, we introduce a notion of block correlation, which allows each event to be strongly correlated with up to b others and weakly correlated with the rest. We show that under distributions with this correlation, the Multiplicative Weights mechanism retains its ϡ-optimal guarantee using O(b2 log(n)/ϡ2) events. Our proof involves a novel concentration bound for correlated random variables which may be of broader interest.
