How To Write A Top ML Paper: A Checklist From NeurIPS

Thousands of machine learning papers get published every week. It is almost impossible to find the most useful paper in this vast and growing list. A paper typically gets credit when it finds a real-world application, or is applauded by top researchers in the community, or even if it gets accepted in prestigious AI conferences, such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR etc. Usually, these conferences act as platforms to promote research. The acceptance guidelines for these top conferences vary, but they all are stringent nevertheless. The reviewers who skim through papers have thumb rules, such as the availability of code, replicability of results, etc. to judge a paper.
