Prompt
During final preparations for an AISTATS theory paper, we need to adjust our mathematical framework. What specific step should we take regarding theorem statements and assumption labels before finalizing figures or checklist items?
What was checked, without and with the skill
Checked
Without skill
With skill
The response instructs to freeze theorem statements and renumber assumptions first so reviewers can cross-reference labels.

AISTATS Submission
Use this for an AISTATS paper submission audit. Reopen the current Call for Papers,
OpenReview group, style files, FAQ, and proceedings instructions before giving
deadline-ready advice.
Submission audit
Confirm the target is the main AISTATS conference, not a workshop or tutorial.
Verify OpenReview profiles, conflicts, subject areas, title, abstract, author list, and
reviewer-volunteer obligations before the abstract and full-paper deadlines.
Apply the current style file without spacing, margin, font, or bibliography hacks.
AISTATS 2026 used 8 pages of main text for submission, excluding references and
appendices.
Submit supplementary material by the current supplement deadline. In 2026 this was a
separate deadline after the main paper deadline, and supplementary uploads were optional
but had to remain anonymous.
Include or complete the reproducibility checklist if the current cycle requires it.
Enforce double-blind anonymity in paper text, appendix, supplement, code/data, file names,
metadata, repository links, acknowledgements, grants, and self-citations.
Check concurrent-submission rules and prior-publication status. Do not put the same work
under review at another archival venue when AISTATS forbids it.
Blocking risks
Late abstract or full-paper upload.
Overlength main text or modified style.
Non-anonymized supplement, metadata, repository, or appendix.
Missing reproducibility checklist or required OpenReview fields.
Dual submission to another archival venue.
Unclear statistical evidence, weak baselines, or missing uncertainty analysis.
Use when targeting International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics (AISTATS) or deciding whether a computer-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes conference fit, framing, evidence bar, submission-cycle checks, rebuttal posture, and desk-reject risks for AI statistics.
