SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Producing a NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR/ACL-style ML research paper is hard because it requires more than writing: it needs an evidence-backed narrative, verifiable citations, sound experimental design, and submission-ready formatting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end paper lifecycle: design→execute experiments→analyze results→draft→self-review→revise→submit.
  • Iterative (non-linear) workflow: feedback from results and reviews loops back into new experiments, analysis, and writing.
  • Citation integrity guardrails: prevents fabricated citations by requiring programmatic verification and marking unverifiable ones as [CITATION NEEDED].
  • Experiment-to-story bridge: generates a structured experiment log so each paper section is grounded in measured evidence.
  • Review-proof structure: enforces contribution clarity (“What/Why/So What”), claim–evidence alignment, and reviewer-focused completeness.

Quick Start

Use the research-paper-writing skill to produce a first paper draft by running it from Phase 0 (project setup and contribution framing) through Phase 1 (literature review) for your target venue.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an ML research paper for NeurIPS or ICML with proper experiment design?

Writing an ML research paper requires mapping explicit claims to experiment designs, executing ablations, and grounding the narrative in measured evidence. This iterative workflow ensures your submission is review-proof and aligns contributions with empirical results for NeurIPS or ICML venues.

How do I verify citations and prevent fabricated references in my research paper?

Verifying citations involves programmatic cross-checking against external sources like Semantic Scholar and arXiv. Unverifiable references are flagged as [CITATION NEEDED] to prevent fabricated literature and maintain citation integrity throughout the manuscript.

What is the best way to structure a literature review for an ACL or AAAI paper?

Structuring a literature review involves programmatically fetching metadata from academic databases to synthesize prior work. This grounds your contribution framing in verifiable sources, ensuring your 'What/Why/So What' narrative aligns with existing research for ACL or AAAI submissions.

Can I generate publication-ready plots using Matplotlib and SciencePlots for my ML paper?

Yes, generating publication-ready plots using Matplotlib and SciencePlots is supported for ML papers. These dependencies create high-quality visualizations that align with standard academic formatting requirements for major AI conferences.

Does this research writing workflow handle the rebuttal and review-response cycle?

The research writing workflow handles the rebuttal and review-response cycle by incorporating non-linear feedback loops. Reviewer feedback triggers revisions, new experiment executions, and updated analysis to produce a review-proof final draft.

What do I need to set up before starting the ML paper drafting lifecycle?

Before starting the ML paper drafting lifecycle, you need to establish project setup, define your target venue, and frame initial contributions. This prerequisite planning ensures experiment design and literature review are properly scoped for the submission.
