Use when preparing AISTATS supplementary material, appendices, proof details, code/data archives, simulation scripts, additional tables, and anonymized artifacts under deadline, size, anonymity, and reviewer-discretion constraints, including how to split a theory-plus-experiments paper between body and supplement.

Prompt
When planning our AISTATS submission workflow, should we assume the supplementary material deadline occurs at the exact same minute as the main paper registration deadline?

AISTATS Supplementary
Use this when assembling AISTATS supplementary material. The supplement can support the
paper, but the main submission must remain understandable without it.
Supplement structure
Put theorem proofs, derivations, extra ablations, simulation details, dataset
documentation, and robustness tables in a clean appendix or supplementary manuscript.
Put executable assets in a separate archive when current OpenReview forms allow it.
Respect the current supplementary deadline. AISTATS 2026 placed supplementary-material
submission after the paper deadline but before review.
Keep all supplementary files double-blind: no authors, institutions, acknowledgements,
private paths, repository owners, grants, or identifying metadata.
Do not use the supplement to hide essential motivation, core method description, main
theorem statements, or primary empirical results.
Verify archives open on a clean machine and contain no credentials, cache directories,
large irrelevant files, or hidden OS metadata.
Appendix architecture for proofs
Order appendix sections to mirror main-text theorem order; statistician reviewers navigate
by theorem number, not by page.
Restate each theorem before its proof so the appendix reads standalone without flipping
back to the two-column body.
Standard partition: notation and assumptions, main proofs, auxiliary lemmas, additional
simulations, then real-data details.
Keep one proof-sketch paragraph per major theorem in the body itself; an AISTATS submission
whose entire argument lives in the supplement reads as unreviewable within the page limit.
Cross-reference every appendix table and lemma from the body at least once; orphaned
supplement material is invisible to reviewers and wasted under reviewer discretion.
If the cycle allows appendices inside the main PDF after the references, confirm against
the current instructions whether that or a separate file upload is expected.
