Scripts

Generate LaTeX table from JSON/CSV

bash

python ~/.claude/skills/table-generation/scripts/results_to_table.py \
  --input results.json --type comparison \
  --bold-best max --caption "Performance comparison" \
  --label tab:main_results

Supports:

comparison

,

ablation

,

descriptive

,

multi-dataset

table types. Additional flags:

--type multi-dataset

for methods x datasets x metrics layout,

--significance

for p-value stars,

--underline-second

for second-best results.

Table Types

comparison

— Main results table

Rows = methods (baselines + ours), Columns = metrics/datasets
Bold the best result in each column
Include mean +/- std when available
Use
```
\multirow
```
for method categories (Supervised, Self-supervised, etc.)

ablation

— Ablation study table

Rows = variants (full model, minus component A, minus component B, ...)
Columns = metrics
Bold the full model result
Use checkmarks for component presence

descriptive

— Dataset/statistics table

Dataset characteristics, hyperparameters, or summary statistics
Clean formatting with proper units

custom

— Free-form table

User specifies layout and content

Required Packages

latex

\usepackage{booktabs}    % \toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule
\usepackage{multirow}    % \multirow
\usepackage{multicol}    % multi-column layouts
\usepackage{threeparttable}  % table notes

Output Format

Always generate tables with:

```
booktabs
```
rules (
```
\toprule
```
,
```
\midrule
```
,
```
\bottomrule
```
)
```
\caption{}
```
and
```
\label{tab:...}
```
Bold best results using
```
\textbf{}
```
Table notes via
```
threeparttable
```
when needed
Proper alignment (
```
l
```
for text,
```
c
```
or
```
r
```
for numbers)

Rules

Only include numbers from actual experimental logs — never hallucinate results
All numbers must match the data source exactly
Use
```
$\pm$
```
for standard deviations
Use
```
\underline{}
```
for second-best results when appropriate
Keep tables compact — avoid unnecessary columns
Use
```
table*
```
for wide tables spanning two columns
Add glossary/notes for abbreviated column headers
