This guide assists researchers in determining the best fit for their data mining research project. It compares the contribution against major conferences (ICDM, KDD, SDM, etc.) and helps decide the appropriate track (Research, Applied, Blue Sky) based on the nature of the mechanism, evidence, and intended scope for optimal academic impact.

This skill offers a comprehensive project management framework for the end-to-end submission process of data mining research to major conferences like ICDM. It guides users through critical milestones, including topic selection, experimental design, abstract submission, and final camera-ready preparation. It emphasizes backward planning from the final deadline, addressing unique constraints such as no-rebuttal policies, short-paper contingencies, and strict page limits.

A comprehensive guide for revising technical manuscripts intended for premier data mining conferences like ICDM. It teaches authors to shift focus from model-centric claims to data-regime-first narratives, emphasizing measurable evidence, mechanistic detail, and adhering to strict academic constraints (e.g., triple-blind format, page limits).

This guide provides rigorous guidelines for structuring theoretical papers submitted to the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT). It emphasizes that proofs and formal evidence are the primary contribution, not benchmarks or experiments. It teaches authors how to match their specific theoretical claims (e.g., complexity, expressiveness) to the appropriate academic evidence, ensuring that any proposed experiment is proportional, honest, and merely supplements the core theoretical results.

Provides strict guidelines for writing the Related Work section in theoretical database papers. It teaches authors how to precisely position their novel results against existing theorems (ICDT/PODS canon), covering complex topics like finite model theory, query complexity, and proper academic citation etiquette, ensuring genuine novelty is highlighted.

A comprehensive audit guide for authors preparing submissions for the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT). This guide covers critical aspects including selecting the correct submission cycle, adhering to the two-step abstract-then-paper deadline, meeting the LIPIcs formatting standards (15 pages excluding references), ensuring complete and verifiable proofs, and maintaining strict anonymity since 2024. Use this before uploading to Microsoft CMT.

A meticulous style guide for authors submitting papers to the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT). It mandates a rigorous theorem-proof structure, emphasizing precise statement of data models, query languages, and complexity measures. The guide teaches how to structure the introduction to lead with the core result and its data-management implications, adhering to top-tier academic standards.

This guide details the process of packaging artifacts for academic conferences (ICLR), ensuring that research claims are fully reproducible and reviewable. It emphasizes providing minimal reproduction paths, maintaining data provenance, rigorously anonymizing metadata to protect authors' identities, and creating robust, permanent records for the scholarly community.

A comprehensive self-auditing guide designed for authors preparing manuscripts for submission to top-tier academic journals. It systematically addresses recurring, structural, and critical flaws across theory contribution, econometric identification, mechanism explanation, heterogeneity analysis, and writing conventions. This tool helps authors proactively identify and correct potential weaknesses before facing peer review.

Provides a comprehensive guide for preparing an accepted academic paper for camera-ready submission, detailing the necessary steps after acceptance. This workflow covers de-anonymization, integrating reviewer feedback, writing lay summaries, running format checks, and managing public-facing records such as reviews and conflict disclosures, ensuring publication readiness for top-tier conferences.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for packaging and documenting complex robotics research artifacts (code, simulations, hardware designs, datasets, etc.) for scholarly review. It outlines best practices for ensuring reproducibility, adopting the "five-minute-skeptic standard," and managing the full lifecycle of artifacts from review submission to public acceptance.

A comprehensive guide detailing the academic standards for ensuring research reproducibility at ICSE. Covers open-science policies, mandatory data availability statements, techniques for pinning provenance (especially for mining and LLMs), and best practices for maintaining verifiability while ensuring anonymity. Essential for academic submissions.
