SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires semanticscholar, arxiv, habanero, requests, scipy, numpy, matplotlib, SciencePlots, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing a publication-ready ML paper involves coordinating experiments, verified citations, statistical analysis, LaTeX formatting, and venue-specific checklists, and mistakes in any step cause desk rejections or hallucinated references. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Research Lifecycle: Covers project setup, literature review, experiment design, execution monitoring, statistical analysis, drafting, self-review, and submission for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, and COLM. - Verified Citation Workflow: Fetches BibTeX programmatically via Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and arXiv APIs instead of generating citations from memory, with a mandatory 5-step verification process. - Venue Templates & Checklists: Ships official LaTeX templates and requirement checklists for six major conferences, including NeurIPS's 16-item checklist and ACL's mandatory Limitations section. - Use Case: A researcher with experimental results asks the agent to draft an ICML submission; the skill maps claims to experiments, verifies every citation, generates booktabs tables and colorblind-safe PDF figures, and runs a simulated reviewer pass before submission. ## Quick Start Use the research-paper-writing skill to turn my experiment results in the results/ folder into a draft ICML paper with verified citations and submission-ready formatting.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-paper-writing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an ML research paper for NeurIPS or ICML?▼

Follow a phased pipeline: define a one-sentence contribution, map every experiment to a paper claim, run baselines with statistical significance tests, then draft using the venue's official LaTeX template. Finish with a simulated self-review and the venue's mandatory checklist before submitting.

How do I prevent hallucinated citations in AI-generated papers?▼

Never generate BibTeX from memory; fetch it programmatically via DOI content negotiation from CrossRef or the Semantic Scholar API. Verify each paper exists in at least two sources, confirm the cited claim appears in the abstract, and mark unverifiable entries as placeholders.

What LaTeX templates are included for conference submissions?▼

The templates directory includes official style files for ICML 2026, ICLR 2026, NeurIPS 2025, ACL, AAAI 2026, and COLM 2025, each with its .sty and .bst files plus example documents. Compile with pdflatex and bibtex, or upload to Overleaf.

What statistical tests should ML papers report?▼

Report error bars with the method specified, 95% confidence intervals via bootstrapping, McNemar's test for paired method comparisons, and effect sizes such as Cohen's h. Always state sample sizes and number of independent runs.

When should I use human evaluation instead of automated metrics?▼

Use human evaluation for subjective generation tasks like summarization or dialogue where automated metrics miss fluency and helpfulness, especially at ACL venues. Report annotator counts, Krippendorff's alpha agreement, compensation, and pairwise comparison protocols.

What are the page limits for major ML conferences?▼

NeurIPS allows 9 pages, ICML 8, ICLR 9, ACL 8 for long papers, AAAI 7, and COLM 9, all with unlimited references and appendices. Camera-ready versions typically gain one additional page.
