Paper Modification Guidelines

Regular Paper Submission Guidelines

After the July 21 abstract deadline and until the end of review process the following items cannot be changed:

• paper topics (primary and secondaries)
• nominated reciprocal reviewer

After the July 21 abstract deadline and until the July 28 paper submission deadline, the following items can be changed

• list of authors
• author order
• submitted paper

and the following items can be edited, but should not be substantively changed:

• title of the paper
• TL;DR
• abstract of the paper

If the Program Chairs determine that an abstract or title has been changed to the extent that it describes research that is qualitatively different, the paper will be rejected without review.

• supplementary materials

After the July 31 deadline and before notification NOTHING can be changed.

Important Notes

Submissions that have “placeholder” titles (e.g., test or xyz) or abstracts (or none at all) will be deleted. Authors of such vacuous submissions will be notified that their abstract has been deleted and will not be allowed to submit a full paper.

Authors are advised to carefully verify all submission materials before the deadline, including ensuring that all information is correct and that uploaded files can be properly downloaded and used.

We will not accommodate requests to update or correct submitted materials outside the defined modification windows. Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submission is accurate and complete by the deadline. This includes, but is not limited to, replacing incorrectly uploaded files or correcting author information.

Paper withdrawals are final and will not be reverted.

Paper / Paper Data Changes after Acceptance and in Preparation for Submission to AAAI Press

During camera-ready submission (deadline December 14), authors may request to modify their paper title through the camera-ready submission site. Note that authors cannot be added or deleted under any circumstances.

After the camera-ready deadline changes can only be made at the request of the publisher.
