Set Conf CR DDL

1. At least one author must register for the conference with the ‘Conference’ option checked in the registration form; ‘Virtual Pass’ alone is not sufficient (see item 4 below).
2. At least one author needs to digitally sign the publication consent form (see item 5 below).
3. The presenting author needs to digitally sign the consent form (see item 5 below).
4. The corresponding author needs to sign the PMLR publication agreement form and upload it in PDF format together with the camera-ready submission (see item 6 below). (Note: Maximum file sizes 20MB)
5. Your camera-ready PDF should include a mandatory impact statement just before the bibliography (see the call for papers for instructions). Acknowledgments, the impact statement, and references are excluded from the 9-page limit.
6. Complete the camera-ready form on OpenReview (see items 7–10 below).

​

Guidelines for Camera-Ready Submission

1. In the camera-ready version, you have an extra page to address reviewer comments, so the length limit of the paper body is 9 pages, followed by any acknowledgements, the impact statement, and references.
2. You should include any appendices of the paper as part of the camera-ready PDF. There is NO camera-ready supplementary material of any kind — these will not be listed on PMLR nor on OpenReview. If you have code or other material you want readers to access, please upload it to a repository (e.g., GitHub) and include a link in your paper. We also encourage you to include the URL link to the code in the optional “code url” box on OpenReview — this will appear on both the OpenReview entry and PMLR.
3. You are allowed to change the author order on the camera-ready submission page, but no author additions are allowed. You may change the title and abstract slightly. If you wish to make a significant title change (e.g., suggested by the meta-reviewer), you must get permission from the program chairs.
4. Register for the conference: Go to coml.cc and click “Registration 2025”. Log in (or create a profile). At least one author must register with the checkbox ‘Conference’ ticked under ‘Sessions’; selecting ‘Virtual Pass’ alone is NOT sufficient.
5. At least one author must digitally sign the COML 2025 Publishing Release form, and the presenting author must sign the COML 2025 Recording Release and License form, both at:
   https://coml.cc/ConsentForm
   (You will need to log in to coml.cc to see your paper(s).)
6. The PMLR Publication Agreement form (available at http://proceedings.mlr.press/pmlr-license-agreement.pdf) must be filled out and signed by the corresponding author and uploaded as part of the camera-ready submission.
7. Prepare your camera-ready version using the LaTeX style file from:
   https://media.coml.cc/Conferences/COML2025/Styles/coml2025.zip
   with the \usepackage[accepted]{coml2025} option.
   Mandatory: Include an unnumbered impact statement section immediately before the bibliography. Optionally include an acknowledgments section. Both are excluded from the 9-page limit.
8. Check your PDF using the COML Format Checker:
   https://papercheck.coml.cc/papercheck.html
   Upload your paper to automatically detect violations. Fix all errors and re-upload until no violations remain. Upon success, you will receive a 5-letter submission code — enter this in the OpenReview camera-ready form.
9. Upload required files via your OpenReview console. Enter your title and abstract exactly as they appear in the paper. Use TeX math sparingly; no custom macros or TeX commands. Ensure accents and special characters are entered using TeX commands (not direct Unicode characters).
10. New this year: You will be asked to enter a “lay summary” (also called “plain language summary”) in the OpenReview form. See detailed guidelines and examples here:

Critical Reminders (Do Not Wait Until the Last Day!)

• The main paper must contain no more than 9 pages. Acknowledgments, impact statement, references, and appendices must follow in the same PDF file.
• Enter author details exactly as in your .tex file (example_paper.tex in coml2025_style.zip). Ensure affiliations footnote renders correctly. Use:
  • \printAffiliationsAndNotice{\comlEqualContribution} if multiple authors made equal contributions.
  • \printAffiliationsAndNotice{} otherwise.
• Title and section headings should use title case (capitalize content words), not ALL CAPS.
  Example: “Deep Learning for Artificial Intelligence” — not “DEEP LEARNING FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE”.
  For guidance: Capitalization Rules for Titles
• Carefully review your references. Replace arXiv citations with peer-reviewed versions where possible. Ensure proper capitalization in BibTeX using braces (e.g., {Markov}).
• Follow our accessibility guidelines:
  1. Review guidelines for color-blind and visually impaired readers.
  2. Ensure your bibliography is up-to-date (correct names and venues).
  3. Use inclusive and respectful language when referring to people.
• No Type 3 font check this year. You do not need TrueType fonts or to convert EPS to PNG. Prefer vector graphics (EPS/PDF) for plots and charts. Use bitmap graphics only when necessary.
• Abstracts should be a single paragraph of 4–6 sentences.
• Citation font size must match the main text.
• Paper must be in US Letter size (not A4 or other).
• Full paper (including appendices) PDF ≤ 20 MB.
• PMLR Publication Agreement PDF ≤ 10 MB.
• Double-check that the author order in OpenReview matches your camera-ready PDF.
