Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aristo ensemble vs Praline MLN | 4th grade science QA · NY Regents 4th Grade Science (non-diagram, multiple choice) | score: 47.5% -> 71.3% | Helped |
| add statistical solvers (SVM, PMI) to IR (ablation) | Aristo · NY Regents 4th Grade Science (non-diagram, multiple choice) | score: 60.6 -> 68.2 | Helped |
| add inferential solvers (RULE, ILP) (ablation) | Aristo · NY Regents 4th Grade Science (non-diagram, multiple choice) | score: 68.2 -> 71.3 | Helped |
| add PMI solver (ablation) | Aristo ensemble · NY Regents 4th Grade Science (non-diagram, multiple choice) | score: -8.5% drop when ablated | Helped |
