What it does

Wsdm Experiments is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of a WSDM paper - offline ranking and recommendation metrics with bias controls, temporal-split protocols for interaction logs, baseline selection from recent WSDM/SIGIR/KDD editions, ablations that isolate the mechanism, efficiency reporting, and online-evidence framing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wsdm Experiments loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 632 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of a WSDM paper - offline ranking and recommendation metrics with bias controls, temporal-split protocols for interaction logs, baseline selection from recent WSDM/SIGIR/KDD editions, ablations that isolate the mechanism, efficiency reporting, and online-evidence framing.

WSDM Experiments

Design an evaluation that survives WSDM's mixed academic-industry PC with no rebuttal to patch holes. The venue's evaluation culture is specific: reviewers assume interaction data is biased until you control for it, assume random splits leak until you say "temporal," and assume unnamed baselines were chosen to lose. Build the section so each assumption meets its answer.

The evidence quadrants

Cover the four questions every strong WSDM evaluation answers; weak papers usually max one quadrant and ignore two:

QuadrantQuestionTypical instruments
EffectivenessBetter on the task?nDCG/MRR/MAP@k, Recall/HR@k, AUC/logloss for CTR
ValidityBetter for the claimed reason, or an artifact?Bias controls, leakage checks, ablations
EfficiencyAffordable at serving time?Latency, throughput, index/memory cost, training compute
RobustnessWhere does it break?Cold-start slices, head/tail splits, temporal drift, adversarial cases

Effectiveness without validity is the classic WSDM rejection ("gains may be position-bias artifacts"); effectiveness without efficiency loses the industry reviewer for interactive-serving claims.

Protocol decisions to fix before running anything

  1. Split by time, and say so. Interaction data demands temporal splits; document window boundaries and whether users span splits (see the manifest pattern in wsdm-reproducibility). If you must use a legacy leave-one-out protocol for comparability, run temporal as well and report both - protocols disagree often enough that the choice is a finding.
  2. Define the candidate set. Sampled-negative evaluation (rank the true item against k sampled items) inflates and reorders metrics versus full ranking; state which you use and sample size. Mixing regimes across baselines invalidates the whole table.
  3. Fix the cutoff story. Report metrics at cutoffs that match the claimed surface (@5/@10 for user-facing ranking; deeper cutoffs need justification).
  4. Pick the unit of significance. Paired tests over queries/users/sessions, with the unit named. State the correction if testing many baselines.

Baseline selection

  • Include the strongest recent method from the venue's own conversation - a 2027 submission compared only against pre-2023 baselines self-identifies as under-researched. Sweep the last two editions of WSDM, SIGIR, KDD, WWW, and RecSys for the topic's current best.
  • Include the embarrassing-simple baseline (popularity, BM25, most-recent, logistic regression on hand features). WSDM reviewers are veterans of neural methods losing to tuned heuristics; showing the heuristic beaten builds trust, and omitting it suggests it wasn't.
  • Tune baselines with the same budget as your method and say so - "default hyperparameters for baselines" is a read-and-reject phrase for this PC.
  • For foundation-model comparisons, pin versions and dates and control the prompt-engineering effort across systems.

Ablations that isolate the mechanism

The contribution sentence names a mechanism; the ablation table must isolate it. Pattern:

text
Full model                                    0.412
- remove the debiasing weight (the mechanism) 0.371  <- the claim's evidence
- remove auxiliary loss (engineering)         0.405
- replace learned propensity with uniform     0.383
Strongest baseline                            0.379

If removing the named mechanism hurts less than removing an engineering detail, the paper's story and its evidence disagree - fix the story or the method before a reviewer does it for you. Report ablations on more than one dataset when results are close; single-dataset ablations invite the "tuned on that set" read.

Efficiency and scale reporting

For any method aimed at ranking, retrieval, or serving:

  • Report inference latency per query/user at a stated batch size and hardware, plus index or memory footprint next to effectiveness numbers.
  • Separate one-time costs (training, index build) from per-request costs.
  • Scale claims need a scaling curve (data or corpus size vs cost/quality), not an adjective. "Web-scale" with a 100k-item experiment is a tells-table entry in wsdm-writing-style for a reason.

Online and production evidence

A/B results strengthen a WSDM paper when framed correctly: they are attested evidence of deployment value (traffic share, duration, metric definitions, guardrails - the protocol requirements in wsdm-reproducibility), not a substitute for reproducible offline comparison. The clean pattern pairs them: offline tables establish the method ranking on inspectable data; the online section shows the offline win survived serving reality. State discrepancies between the two honestly - the offline-online gap is itself a finding this community values.

Pre-submission experiment audit

text
[ ] Temporal (or justified) splits, documented, leakage checks run
[ ] Candidate-set regime stated and uniform across systems
[ ] Baselines: recent-strong + simple-heuristic, tuning parity stated
[ ] Significance: paired test, named unit, cutoff-matched claims
[ ] Ablation isolates the *named* mechanism, multi-dataset if close
[ ] Efficiency: latency/memory beside effectiveness for serving claims
[ ] Robustness slice: cold-start or tail reported, not just aggregate
[ ] Every number in the abstract traceable to a table

Output format

text
[Quadrants] effectiveness / validity / efficiency / robustness: covered or gap
[Protocol] split, candidate set, cutoffs, significance unit: <summary>
[Baselines] recency + simplicity + tuning parity: pass / additions needed
[Mechanism ablation] isolates claim: yes / story-evidence mismatch
[Online evidence] attested framing correct: yes / no / n-a
[Fix-first] the single highest-risk evaluation gap
