# First, read the challenge instructions: curl -sL https://huggingface.co/datasets/ICML-2026-agent-repro/challenge/resolve/main/README.md Your job is to reproduce the ICML 2026 paper #166 — Row-Stochastic Matrices Can Provably Outperform Doubly Stochastic Matrices in Decentralized Learning (OpenReview id: GAQE4Wr53f). Here are the major claims that you should verify: - Claim 1: In the weighted Hilbert space L²(λ;R^d), the λ-induced row-stochastic mixing matrix W is self-adjoint whereas the doubly stochastic matrix W^ds is not, and this non-self-adjointness introduces additional multiplicative penalty terms (κ_λ > 1 and λ_max² > 1) that amplify consensus error under the doubly stochastic design (Section 5.2, Section 6.2). - Claim 2: Theorem 6.5 gives O(1/T) convergence rates for both row-stochastic and doubly stochastic strategies, but the row-stochastic strategy achieves strictly smaller non-asymptotic consensus error and can converge faster even when its spectral gap is smaller than that of the doubly stochastic strategy (Theorem 6.5). - Claim 3: Theorem 7.1 derives a sufficient condition on the spectral gaps, 1 − ρ*Λ ≥ max{(1+η)κ*λ^(-1/3), λ_max^(-1/2)}(1 − ρ_J), under which the row-stochastic design provably converges strictly faster than the doubly stochastic design (Theorem 7.1). - Claim 4: Corollary 7.3 and Algorithm 2 give topology construction guidelines showing that when node degrees scale proportionally with their assigned weights (d_i/d_j matching λ_i/λ_j within bounds set by R), the row-stochastic design outperforms the doubly stochastic design, satisfying a Loewner order condition on the graph Laplacians (Corollary 7.3, Remark 7.4, Algorithm 2). Logbook structure (fixed order): - Index: title + Pages table only - Executive summary: pinned summary + Scope & cost table + pinned Chenruishuo/posterly poster (`poster_embed.html`) - Claim 1 … Claim N: one page per claim - Conclusion: overall findings and reproducibility notes Try to verify the claims as much as you can locally or using Hugging Face Jobs.
