Curriculum

9 modules, one session

3 Hours of live teaching, in the order you'll use it on a real project.

  1. 01

    How Conference Review Works

    Area chairs, reviewer pools, scoring rubrics, and how NeurIPS/ICML/CVPR/ACL decisions actually get made.

  2. 02

    Picking the Right Venue & Deadline

    Matching your work to a venue's scope, planning backward from the deadline, and understanding dual/triple submission rules.

  3. 03

    Structuring an 8-Page Paper

    Fitting a full contribution into a strict page limit: what goes in the main paper versus the appendix.

  4. 04

    Experiments Reviewers Expect

    Strong baselines, ablations, compute and data statements, and reproducibility checklists top venues now require.

  5. 05

    Figures & Results Under Page Limits

    Dense, readable figures and tables that carry your results without padding the page count.

  6. 06

    Anonymity & Ethics Statements

    Double-blind submission hygiene, broader-impact and ethics statements, and common desk-reject mistakes.

  7. 07

    The Rebuttal

    Writing a focused, evidence-backed rebuttal on OpenReview or CMT within a tight word limit and review window.

  8. 08

    Camera-Ready & Presentation

    Final formatting, licensing and supplementary material, and preparing a poster or talk.

  9. 09

    Bouncing a Rejection Forward

    Turning reviewer feedback into a stronger resubmission at the next venue instead of starting over.
