SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Writing a publishable ML/AI paper involves coordinating literature review, experiment design, statistical analysis, LaTeX drafting, citation verification, and venue-specific formatting — a process where hallucinated citations, missing baselines, and checklist violations cause desk rejections. This Skill provides a structured, iterative pipeline covering the full research lifecycle for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, and COLM submissions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Research Lifecycle: Eight phases from project setup and literature review through experiment execution, statistical analysis, drafting, self-review, and submission, with explicit feedback loops between phases. - Citation Verification Workflow: Mandatory 5-step programmatic citation process using Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and arXiv APIs to eliminate hallucinated references, with a complete CitationManager implementation. - Venue-Specific Resources: Official LaTeX templates for six conferences, page limit references, and mandatory checklist documentation (NeurIPS 16-item checklist, ICLR LLM disclosure, ACL limitations section). - Experiment Infrastructure Patterns: Incremental saving for crash recovery, blind judge panel evaluation, statistical tests (McNemar's, bootstrap CIs, Cohen's h), human evaluation design, and publication-quality figure generation with colorblind-safe palettes. - Use Case: A researcher with experimental results asks the agent to draft an ICML submission — the Skill guides claim-to-experiment mapping, verified BibTeX generation, booktabs tables, and the reproducibility checklist before submission. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help write a research paper from your existing experiment results, specifying your target venue such as NeurIPS or ICML.

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 a machine learning paper for NeurIPS or ICML?▼

Follow the eight-phase pipeline: set up the workspace and contribution statement, run an iterative literature search, map claims to experiments, execute with incremental saving, analyze with statistical tests, draft in the venue's LaTeX template, self-review, then complete the submission checklist.

How do I prevent hallucinated citations in AI-assisted paper writing?▼

Never generate BibTeX from memory. Use the mandatory 5-step workflow: search Semantic Scholar, verify the paper in two sources, retrieve BibTeX via DOI content negotiation, validate the cited claim appears in the paper, then add it to the bibliography.

What LaTeX templates are included for conference submissions?▼

Official templates are provided for ICML 2026, ICLR 2026, NeurIPS 2025, ACL, AAAI 2026, and COLM 2025, each with the correct style files, bibliography styles, and example documents. Page limits and anonymization rules are documented per venue.

Which statistical tests should I report in an ML paper?▼

Report McNemar's test for paired method comparisons, bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals for key metrics, and Cohen's h for effect sizes. Always state sample sizes, number of runs, and whether error bars show standard deviation or standard error.

When should I use autoreason versus critique-and-revise for refining drafts?▼

Use autoreason for mid-tier models and constrained tasks where the generation-evaluation gap is large. Use critique-and-revise for concrete technical tasks with frontier models, and single pass for template-filling tasks or very weak models.

What are the limitations of this paper writing pipeline?▼

The pipeline targets empirical ML/AI conference papers and assumes access to experiment infrastructure and citation APIs. Human evaluation studies still require IRB approval and annotator recruitment that the Skill can plan but not execute autonomously.
