Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental My initial work on this approach consisted of both a theoretical and experimental component. ... Beyond this exciting theoretical result, I was able to show that the proposed technique is useful in practice, with a detailed empirical evaluation which established the ability of machine learning models to impute missing information from realworld human preferences. ... The correct winner was recovered in more than 90% of runs, and the overall ranking of the candidates matched that obtained by aggregating the ground-truth ballots to a very high degree. Error rates for the scores of individual candidates under the commonly used Borda Count voting rule were typically less than 1%.
