This venue
International broad AI overlapping AAAI’s audience but with a different reviewer pool and track mix. For pure ML algorithms, NeurIPS/ICML may fit tighter.
arXiv is allowed, but the PDF and metadata must stay anonymous. Per-author caps apply recently; over-cap or identity leaks are common desk rejects.
Length
At most 9 pages total: 7 for the body (including figures/tables) plus up to 2 for references. An optional ethics statement may sit in either block. Unlike NeurIPS, references are capped.
Review
Double-blind, including PDF metadata. Anonymize supplements and hardcoded paths. Third-person self-citation. No acknowledgments at submission.
Typesetting
Use that year’s official two-column Author Kit and keep the template-version field. Line numbers for review; remove for camera-ready. Do not alter margins.
