Skill UI

Provides comprehensive guidelines for designing rigorous technical evaluations for interactive systems, specifically tailored for top-tier venues like UIST. It emphasizes matching evaluation methods to specific artifact claims, reporting distributions over means, closing the interaction loop, and performing thorough ablations against real-world baselines. This framework ensures the scientific rigor and credibility of submitted research.

A comprehensive guide for structuring the 'Related Work' section for top-tier HCI conferences (e.g., UIST). This document emphasizes that the section must function as a novelty proof, not a literature survey. It teaches authors to organize content by capability delta, utilize detailed comparison tables, and trace three critical lineages: technique, toolkit, and commercial practice, ensuring the work's unique contribution is clearly established.

This guide provides a rigorous methodology for achieving scientific reproducibility in technical and user experience papers (e.g., UIST). It details three essential 'ledgers': the Build Ledger (pinning software, hardware, and environment dependencies), the Measurement Ledger (defining precise protocols for metrics like latency and accuracy), and the Study Ledger (documenting human evaluation tasks). Following these protocols ensures that external researchers can accurately rebuild the artifact and validate reported results.

A comprehensive guide to navigating the UIST (User Interface Software and Technology) academic review pipeline. It details every stage, from initial submission and expert review to the rebuttal phase and final committee decisions. The guide teaches authors how to critically analyze reviewer feedback, identify evidence gaps, strengthen novelty claims, and strategically plan for conditional acceptance or resubmission.

A comprehensive audit guide for the final pre-upload submission of UIST (User Interface Software and Technology) conference papers. This document details critical steps, including adhering to strict formatting rules (e.g., two-column layout, page limits), managing the abstract and paper deadlines, and executing thorough anonymity sweeps to prevent desk rejection. Essential reading for authors preparing for major academic conferences.

A comprehensive guide for researchers determining if their Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) project contribution is an 'interface artifact' suitable for UIST, or if it belongs to a different venue like CHI or CSCW. It employs the 'artifact-subtraction test' to distinguish between technical system novelty and empirical user findings, ensuring proper conference submission routing.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting interactive system papers to UIST. It details the required narrative arc (walkthrough before mechanism), emphasizes technical specificity in implementation details, and provides rules for designing figures and structuring the argument within strict page limits.

A specialized guide for authors aiming to submit to the Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI). It provides expert advice on framing the core contribution—such as probabilistic reasoning, causal inference, and uncertainty modeling—and calibrating the manuscript for highly technical, statistical ML reviewers. Use this skill to refine your submission strategy, identify evidence gaps, and properly position your work relative to other top-tier AI venues like AISTATS and IJCAI.

A comprehensive guide for optimizing computer science manuscripts targeting the USENIX Annual Technical Conference (ATC). It covers core systems research fields (OS, networking, storage, security), defining the required evidence bar (built artifacts, clean evaluation), and re-framing the paper's contribution to align with top-tier systems venue expectations.

A specialized guide for assessing whether a storage systems or file system manuscript fits the USENIX FAST conference. It covers venue positioning, required evidence (realistic workloads, fault models), appropriate framing, and comparison methodologies necessary for top-tier systems conference submissions.

A comprehensive guide detailing the mandatory and optional evaluation phases for academic security artifacts, such as those required for USENIX Security. It covers Phase-1 (availability) checks and Phase-2 (functionality, reproducibility) requirements. Provides best practices for structuring code, managing technical hazards (e.g., dangerous-by-default behavior), and ensuring verifiable, reproducible results for peer review.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for authors responding to peer reviews and engaging with a shepherd during major security symposium cycles (like USENIX Security). It details the technical mechanics of writing effective rebuttals, addressing compliance gaps (e.g., ethics/disclosure), and managing limited revisions during the post-acceptance shepherding phase.
