A comprehensive guide for designing and auditing empirical experiments in signal processing, audio, and speech domains. It emphasizes matching standard metrics (e.g., WER, SI-SDR, PSNR) to specific tasks, establishing current strong baselines, and systematically sweeping operating conditions (like SNR or reverberation time) to ensure robust, reliable, and publication-ready results.

A comprehensive guide for authors responding to IEEE ICDE peer reviews. Learn how to structure both rebuttals to initial concerns and detailed revise-and-resubmit change documents. The guide emphasizes strategic triage, anchoring answers to concrete evidence, addressing systems-level pushback (e.g., baselines, cost), and maintaining feasibility discipline within tight revision deadlines.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing submissions for top-tier data mining conferences (e.g., ICDM). It emphasizes the critical strategy of preemptively addressing potential weaknesses—such as baselines, variance, scaling, and data leakage—directly within the submitted manuscript, as author rebuttals are often not permitted. Also provides strict guidelines for drafting anonymous, high-impact responses if a rebuttal window is available.

This guide provides comprehensive best practices for designing and auditing empirical experiments for top-tier ML conferences. It covers necessary ablations, robustness checks (e.g., data shift, seeds), fair baselines, and detailed compute reporting to ensure that reported gains are scientifically genuine, reproducible, and address common reviewer skepticism.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for stress-testing Machine Learning experimental evidence before submission or rebuttal. It covers critical areas such as establishing strong baselines, conducting mechanism-isolating ablations, reporting variance, checking for data leakage, and disclosing compute costs. Use this to ensure your ML claims are scientifically sound, robust, and fair against rigorous academic scrutiny.

A comprehensive strategic guide for authors targeting top-tier microarchitecture conferences like MICRO. It covers core topics, required evidence (baselines, workloads, mechanisms), structural expectations, and common pitfalls, ensuring submissions are framed correctly for highly technical audiences.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting data mining research to elite computer science venues like ICDM. This skill helps define the paper's fit, target the correct scope (algorithms, graph mining, etc.), and structure the manuscript to meet rigorous academic standards. It emphasizes providing sufficient evidence, rigorous baselines, and clear positioning relative to the conference's focus.

This guide provides rigorous standards for designing, validating, and reporting security research, particularly for high-stakes academic conferences like IEEE S&P. It covers critical areas including adaptive adversary modeling, measurement validity (sampling, ethics), statistical reporting, establishing strong baselines/ablations, and adhering to ethical constraints (IRB, authorization) to ensure evidence is robust and reproducible.

This guide provides comprehensive standards for designing, auditing, and documenting AI experiments for major conferences like IJCAI. It covers establishing strong baselines, conducting ablation studies, and reporting meticulous details on hyperparameters, computational infrastructure, and ethical risks, ensuring maximum reproducibility and academic credibility for AI research.

A comprehensive guide to designing rigorous, reproducible, and fair experimental protocols for computational science research, particularly for top-tier academic journals. It covers critical elements such as selecting standard benchmark instances, establishing strong baselines, ensuring fair parameter tuning, reporting hardware constraints, and performing robust statistical validation, helping researchers avoid common pitfalls and maximize the scientific validity of their claims.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for conducting rigorous networking evaluations, particularly for top-tier conferences. It mandates that every networking claim—be it optimality, performance improvement, or real-world behavior—must be matched with specific, verifiable evidence. This includes rigorous mathematical proof, seeded simulation results, or real-traffic testbed measurements. The guide emphasizes stating assumptions, using fair baselines, and ensuring statistical reproducibility across all studies.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors targeting elite AI/ML conferences like ICML. It covers academic positioning, identifying core ML contributions, structuring the narrative (Problem, Why Now, What is New), and establishing a rigorous evidence bar, including baselines and ablations. It also advises on distinguishing the work from closely related venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR).
