Convert experimental JSON or CSV results into publication-quality LaTeX tables.
Generate publication-quality LaTeX tables from experimental results. Convert JSON/CSV data to booktabs-styled tables with bold best results, multi-row layouts, and proper captions. Use when creating result tables, comparison tables, or ablation tables for papers.
Understand the trade-offs.

# Table Generation
Convert experimental results into publication-ready LaTeX tables.
## Input
- `$0` — Table type: `comparison`, `ablation`, `descriptive`, `custom`
- `$1` — Data source: JSON file, CSV file, or inline data
## 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.
## References
- LaTeX table templates and examples: `~/.claude/skills/table-generation/references/table-templates.md`
## 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:
1. `booktabs` rules (`\toprule`, `\midrule`, `\bottomrule`)
2. `\caption{}` and `\label{tab:...}`
3. Bold best results using `\textbf{}`
4. Table notes via `threeparttable` when needed
5. 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
