Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We support these results experimentally and show that the asymptotic behavior of the theory holds even when the number of goods and agents is quite small.

Pseudocode No No structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks were found.
Open Source Code Yes Source code & data: https://github.com/John Dickerson/Envy Free
Open Datasets No The paper describes generating instances by sampling valuations from two distributions, 'UNIFORM(x, y)' and 'CORRELATED(x, y)', but does not provide concrete access information (link, DOI, repository, or formal citation) to the specific datasets used in their experiments.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes generating instances with 'n' agents and 'm' goods but does not provide specific details on training, validation, and test dataset splits. The experiments analyze the existence and computation of EF allocations across varying 'm' and 'n', rather than using a train/validation/test split for model evaluation.
Hardware Specification Yes Runs were conducted on Blacklight,3 a cc NUMA supercomputer with 8GB of RAM per core; each experiment was run at least 160 times with a time limit of 12 hours per run.
Software Dependencies Yes All experiments were performed in Python using IBM ILOG CPLEX 12.61 in single-threaded mode under its default configuration.
Experiment Setup Yes We generate instances with n agents and m goods as follows by sampling valuations for each agent and each good from a given distribution over utility functions. In our experimental setup, we draw from two distributions CORRELATED(0.4, 0.6) and UNIFORM(0, 1) defined earlier...
