What AAAI reviewers will look for
AAAI reviewers assess the paper's story (problem, limits of the state of the art, whether results support the claims, key novelty), presentation (soundness, clarity, unstated assumptions, reproducibility, limitations), related work, and evaluations (baselines, metrics, datasets, error analysis), separating essential from optional revisions. Reviews must be depersonalized and must not duplicate content from other reviews, including AAAI's own AI review. Review is two-phase: papers with clearly negative Phase-1 ratings are rejected before author feedback.
- Overall score
- Overall Evaluation, 1–8 (top: “Strong accept (top 5% of accepted papers)”)
- Sub-scores
- Significance Of The Problem, Justification Of Approach, Quality Of Evaluation, Reproducibility And Facilitation Of Follow Up Work (1–4)
- Written fields
- Summary · Strengths · Weaknesses · Questions For The Authors · Ethical Considerations
- Author checklist
- AAAI Reproducibility Checklist, 7 items
Where the bar sits. AAAI-26 accepted 17.6% of 23,680 submissions, and Phase 1 removes many papers before author feedback. No public score statistics; rough rule: mean ≥ 5 (of 8) needed to be competitive.
LLM policy for reviewers
No explicit AAAI reviewer-LLM rule was found, but reviewer confidentiality rules in practice forbid uploading submissions to external LLMs. AAAI supplies its own official AI review, and reviewers must not duplicate content from other reviews.
