q2 · i? · design · r2

Simulation study generating synthetic datasets from predefined skill prerequisite graphs with injected noise, evaluating 675 configurations (10 runs each). The proposed method achieved, e.g., ACE 0.397±0.209 versus Popularity 0.420±0.248, "closely approaches the oracle upper bound performance."

"across all settings, the proposed method consistently outperforms baseline approaches on all metrics except Acc. and closely approaches the oracle upper bound performance"
