# AISTATS Camera Ready

Use this after acceptance. Reopen the current AISTATS camera-ready instructions, PMLR author
kit, registration page, presentation policy, and OpenReview decision email before advising
authors.

## Camera-ready audit

- Convert the anonymous submission to the public proceedings version: names, affiliations,
  acknowledgements, funding, code/data links, and author metadata.
- Apply the current final-page limit. AISTATS 2026 allowed a 9-page camera-ready body,
  excluding references and supplementary material.
- Check PMLR formatting, title/abstract metadata, author order, bibliography, appendix
  placement, and any required release or copyright forms.
- Resolve reviewer and meta-review concerns without changing the accepted contribution beyond
  normal camera-ready clarification.
- Prepare public artifacts: repository, data, model checkpoints, environment files, and
  archival links after anonymity no longer matters.
- Confirm registration and presentation obligations. AISTATS 2026 required in-person
  attendance by at least one author for each accepted paper, with no remote presentation.
