A call to raise the bar on conference paper submissions
Three papers for ICLR, five for AAMAS, and a reviewer who wouldn't accept any of them at a workshop. That's a blunt verdict, and it carries a fair challenge. Submitting unfinished work wastes the limited time of volunteers who read for a living. If you are new to this, find a mentor before you hit submit. Explore what readiness looks like before you ask others to explore your draft. Your reputation, and their patience, depend on it.
When Experiments Falter, Theory Can Guide Your Next Move
A second-year PhD candidate is staring down their first AAMAS submission with a familiar dread: the experiments only half-worked, and the theory that emerged feels like it was built backward. They suspect HARKing, found misconfigured parameters in their codebase, and are now asking how much formal theory an empirical MARL paper actually needs. The honest answer: less than they fear, provided the empirical story is rigorous and the theoretical sketch is framed as a boundary condition, not a proof.
