# AISTATS Workflow

Use this as the project-management skill for an AISTATS submission. Replace all dates with
the current official timetable and work backwards from OpenReview cutoffs.

## Milestones

- Venue fit: confirm the contribution is genuinely at the AI, ML, and statistics interface.
- Evidence lock: freeze theorem statements, assumptions, experiments, simulations,
  baselines, reproducibility checklist, and supplement contents.
- Abstract deadline: submit real title, abstract, authors, subject areas, and conflicts.
- Full-paper deadline: upload anonymous PDF and required OpenReview fields.
- Supplement deadline: upload anonymized appendix/code/data if current cycle allows or
  requires separate supplementary material.
- Review release: triage correctness, statistical validity, novelty, clarity, and
  reproducibility concerns.
- Discussion period: draft concise anonymous text-only clarifications; avoid forbidden links
  or unsupported new results.
- Decision: archive reviews, discussion, meta-review, decision, and submitted versions.
- Acceptance: prepare PMLR camera-ready files, registration, in-person presentation, and
  public artifact release.
