AISTATS Supplementary
Use this when assembling AISTATS supplementary material. The supplement can support the paper, but the main submission must remain understandable without it.
Supplement structure
- Put theorem proofs, derivations, extra ablations, simulation details, dataset documentation, and robustness tables in a clean appendix or supplementary manuscript.
- Put executable assets in a separate archive when current OpenReview forms allow it.
- Respect the current supplementary deadline. AISTATS 2026 placed supplementary-material submission after the paper deadline but before review.
- Keep all supplementary files double-blind: no authors, institutions, acknowledgements, private paths, repository owners, grants, or identifying metadata.
- Do not use the supplement to hide essential motivation, core method description, main theorem statements, or primary empirical results.
- Verify archives open on a clean machine and contain no credentials, cache directories, large irrelevant files, or hidden OS metadata.
Appendix architecture for proofs
- Order appendix sections to mirror main-text theorem order; statistician reviewers navigate by theorem number, not by page.
- Restate each theorem before its proof so the appendix reads standalone without flipping back to the two-column body.
- Standard partition: notation and assumptions, main proofs, auxiliary lemmas, additional simulations, then real-data details.
- Keep one proof-sketch paragraph per major theorem in the body itself; an AISTATS submission whose entire argument lives in the supplement reads as unreviewable within the page limit.
- Cross-reference every appendix table and lemma from the body at least once; orphaned supplement material is invisible to reviewers and wasted under reviewer discretion.
- If the cycle allows appendices inside the main PDF after the references, confirm against the current instructions whether that or a separate file upload is expected.
What gets opened first
| Supplement item | Inspection likelihood | Practical implication |
|---|---|---|
| Proof of the headline theorem | High | Polish it to main-text standard |
| Extra ablation and robustness tables | Medium | Reference each one from the body |
| Code archive | Variable, reviewer discretion | The README must orient a reader in one minute |
| Raw experiment logs | Low | Include for completeness, never rely on them |
Vignette: splitting an optimization paper
A submission proving a convergence guarantee for a stochastic mirror-descent variant, plus benchmark plots: the body keeps the theorem, the key lemma, the proof roadmap, and two decision-critical figures; the appendix holds full proofs and step-size sensitivity grids; the archive carries the seeded experiment runner. Nothing decision-critical lives only in the archive, because archive inspection at AISTATS is discretionary.
