Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We now describe numerical experiments using both synthetic and real datasets to compare the performance of Serial Rank with several classical ranking methods. Experiments on both synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that seriation based spectral ranking achieves competitive and in some cases superior performance compared to classical ranking methods.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 (Serial Rank) Input: A set of pairwise comparisons Ci,j { 1, 0, 1} or [ 1, 1]. 1: Compute a similarity matrix S as in 2.2 2: Compute the Laplacian matrix LS = diag(S1) S (Serial Rank) 3: Compute the Fiedler vector of S. Output: A ranking induced by sorting the Fiedler vector of S (choose either increasing or decreasing order to minimize the number of upsets).
