Submission Guidelines
Brief Guidelines
- Submit on openreview.
- All author names must be submitted by 7:59 AM Beijing Time on August 8 (i.e., the Abstract deadline) (the official page lists the deadline as “anywhere on earth”), and cannot be changed afterwards.
- Author order, contact author, and contact information cannot be modified after 7:59 AM on August 16 (i.e., the Full paper deadline).
- According to AAAI policy, all author names must be added at the time of abstract registration, and the list of names as well as the order in which they appear cannot be changed after Full paper DDL.
Abstract Submission and Full Paper Submission
Abstract Submission
- When submitting an abstract, provide the paper title and abstract content.
- If the abstract is substantially changed after the Abstract deadline but before the Full paper deadline, the Program Chairs have the right to reject the paper outright. (Original: The Program Chairs also reserve the right to reject papers without review if they change their abstracts substantially between the abstract and final deadlines.)
Full Paper Submission
- Double‑blind.
- Use the AAAI25 template.
- Submissions may consist of up to 7 pages of technical content plus additional pages solely for references (Additional pages for references only.).
- No acknowledgments are allowed during the review stage.
- During review, only a PDF is required; if accepted, the source code of the paper must be submitted.
Supplementary Material Submission
- Supplementary material may include: (1) technical appendix; (2) multimedia; (3) code and data.
Multiple Submission Policy for Conferences or Journals
- AAAI25 does not accept papers that are under review elsewhere or have already been published. Preprints on arXiv are allowed.
Reproducibility
- When submitting a paper, ensure that the reproducibility checklist is completed. This includes how to reproduce the paper’s results.
- Information related to reproducing experimental results described in the submission may be included in the main paper or the Code and Data Appendix, as appropriate.
- Further technical details (proofs, descriptions of assumptions, algorithm pseudocode) may be included in the Technical Appendix.
- When appropriate, authors are encouraged to include detailed information about each reproducibility criterion as part of their Technical Appendix.
Review Process
- Phase 1
- Each paper is assigned two reviewers; if both give negative reviews, the paper is rejected outright.
- All other papers proceed to Phase 2.
- Phase 2
- Each paper will be assigned additional reviewers.
- These reviewers cannot see the Phase 1 reviews before submitting their own.
- During November 4–8, an author may comment on all reviewers.
- Final results are announced on December 9.
Supplementary Materials
May include one or more of the following three types:
- Technical Appendix
- A PDF file containing additional supporting information.
- Multimedia Appendix
- A zip file that can contain images, videos, etc.
- Code & Data Appendix
- A zip file containing the code and data needed to reproduce the results (if the data is large, partial uploads are acceptable).
