Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental we use a human study to show that realworld matching rankings follow our assumed valuation function; (2) we prove that there always exists a stable solution by providing an efficient, easilyimplementable algorithm that finds such a solution; and (3) we experimentally validate the efficiency of our algorithm versus a linear-programming-based approach.

Pseudocode Yes All proofs and pseudocode can be found in the full version of this paper.
Open Source Code No The paper states 'All proofs and pseudocode can be found in the full version of this paper,' but does not provide an unambiguous statement of open-source code release or a direct link to a repository for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes We use similar runtime experiments used by Tziavelis et al. [2019] adapted to the DASM setting. ... We use Tziavelis et al. [2019] s Uniform data...
Dataset Splits No The paper describes how synthetic data is generated for each trial based on parameters like 'uniform random total ranking' and 'threshold parameter,' but it does not specify explicit 'training/test/validation dataset splits' as typically understood for machine learning experiments.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details such as exact GPU/CPU models, processor types, or memory amounts used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions solving the ILP using 'state-of-the-art ILP solvers such as Gurobi' but does not specify exact software names with version numbers for reproducibility.
Experiment Setup Yes We have four parameters: (1) m, the number of employers, (2) n/m, the number of affiliates per employer, (3) q, the capacity for each applicant, and (4) t (0, 1), a threshold parameter. ... Fix n m = 2, q = 3, and t = 0.5.
