This guide helps researchers determine if their project genuinely involves machine learning and computer system co-design. It outlines criteria, such as the "co-design test," and provides a routing table to decide whether the work belongs at MLSys compared to general systems conferences (OSDI, SOSP) or pure ML venues (ICML, NeurIPS).

A comprehensive guide for building robust causal identification strategies in empirical research, particularly for analyzing policy shocks. It provides best practices and checklist items for advanced econometrics methods like Difference-in-Differences (DID), Instrumental Variables (IV), Regression Discontinuity (RDD), and Double Machine Learning (DML), helping researchers avoid common methodological pitfalls in top-tier academic publications.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for authors targeting top-tier AI conferences like NeurIPS. It guides researchers in refining their manuscript's narrative, ensuring the contribution meets the venue's standards for broad, high-novelty machine learning research. It covers topic fit, evidence bar requirements, structuring the argument, handling interdisciplinary claims, and navigating the specific submission cycle rules for maximizing acceptance chances.

This skill guides authors on how to strategically position their machine learning research against complex academic landscapes. It covers comparing work to neighboring conferences (ICML, ICLR), analyzing contemporaneous preprints, and defining the exact technical delta from prior methods to minimize novelty risk for top-tier AI venues.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to machine learning conferences like NeurIPS. It details the rigorous standards for data splitting, hyperparameter reporting, random-seed protocols, and compute transparency required for a main-track paper. It also helps authors strategically decide between the main track and the MLRC/TMLR routes based on their core contribution (replication vs. novelty).

This skill simulates the rigorous peer review process used in top-tier AI and machine learning conferences (like NeurIPS). It helps users diagnose potential weaknesses in a submission regarding quality, clarity, significance, ethical compliance, and reproducibility. It guides the identification of decision-relevant issues that ACs and reviewers are likely to raise, helping authors strategically plan responses for revision.

This skill acts as a comprehensive router for the NeurIPS academic workflow. It guides users through every stage of preparing a machine learning manuscript, from initial topic and track selection to writing, mandatory paper checklist completion, OpenReview submission, handling the double-blind review process, and finalizing the camera-ready version. It helps ensure the manuscript is robust, evidence-backed, and adheres to all conference policies.

A comprehensive guide for refining machine learning research papers tailored for NeurIPS submission. It teaches how to structure introductions, calibrate claims with evidence, explicitly state limitations, and address mandatory academic checklist items (e.g., reproducibility, broader impact). Use this skill to transform technical writing into a reviewer-proof, high-impact academic manuscript.

This guide teaches authors how to perform a critical intervention in academic review essays. It provides a structured framework to move beyond mere summary, helping writers identify field blind spots, unexamined assumptions, or false binaries. By learning techniques like dissolving binaries and re-scaling arguments, you can re-order academic debates and elevate a standard review into a groundbreaking, high-impact contribution.

This guide outlines comprehensive best practices for ensuring the reproducibility of Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition research. It covers fixing random seeds, locking hardware/software dependencies (Python, CUDA, etc.), managing data splits, tracking pre-trained model versions, and structuring the required artifact package for external review. It is essential for building trust in published scientific results.

A comprehensive guide for authors aiming to publish in top-tier Information Retrieval (IR) conferences like SIGIR. It teaches the specific, quantitative 'native register' required, moving beyond general machine learning boilerplate. Covers structuring the first page arc, calibrating vocabulary, and building table-centric arguments under strict page limits.

A comprehensive guide for researchers developing systems or algorithms, detailing the necessary level of evidence required for performance claims (e.g., bounds, real-world performance, learning guarantees). It emphasizes scientific rigor, statistical reporting (confidence intervals), assumption testing, and data provenance to ensure findings are robust and reproducible in academic settings.
