A non-exhaustive list of relevant topics:

Probability theory and mathematical statistics
-
Optimization methods and management theory
-
Proof theory and deductive verification
- Differential equations
-
Game theory for explaining and interpreting the work of
diffusion models

Double blind reviewing:
Submissions will be double blind: reviewers cannot see author
names when conducting reviews, and authors cannot see reviewer
names. Having papers on arxiv is allowed per the dual
submission policy outlined below.
We use
OpenReview to host papers and allow for public discussions that can be
seen by all, comments that are posted by reviewers will remain
anonymous. The program will include oral presentations and
posters of accepted papers.
Authors can revise their paper as many times as needed up to the
paper submission deadline. Changes to the paper will not be
allowed while the paper is being reviewed. During the discussion
phase (between area chairs, reviewers and authors), edits will
again be allowed; a
git will be done against the submission at the paper submission
deadline. Authors are encouraged to be explicit and precise
about changes to the paper in their response to reviews. Area
chairs and reviewers reserve the right to ignore changes that
are significant from the original scope of the paper.
Submission Instructions
Authors must submit paper abstracts by the abstract submission
deadline of Feb 20 '25. Please note that no changes on the
authors and their orders can be made after the abstract
submission deadline. Also, please make sure that all authors
have an OpenReview profile with the latest information.
Abstracts submitted by the abstract submission deadline must be
genuine; placeholder or duplicate abstracts will be removed.
The full paper submission deadline is Feb 20 '25 11:59pm
AOE.
The submission site will be open on Jan 1 '25.
Supplementary material is due at the same time as the main
paper.
Paper length
The main text must be between 6 and 10 pages (inclusive). This
limit will be strictly enforced. Papers with main text on the
11th page will be desk rejected. The page limit applies to both
the initial and final camera ready version.
We encourage authors to be crisp in their writing by submitting
papers with 9 pages of main text. We recommend that authors only
use the longer page limit in order to include larger and more
detailed figures. However, authors are free to use the pages as
they wish, as long as they obey the page limits.
The list of references does not count towards the page limit,
and unlimited additional pages are allowed for the
bibliography/references.
Authors may use as many pages of appendices (after the
bibliography) as they wish, but reviewers are not required to
read the appendix.
Style files and Templates

Authors are strongly encouraged to participate in the public
discussion of their paper, as well as of any other paper
submitted to the conference. Submissions and reviews are both
anonymous. For detailed instructions about the format of the
paper, please visit
MathAI.club.
Reviewing Process
-
Submissions to MathAI are uploaded on OpenReview, which
enables public discussion. Official reviews are anonymous and
publicly visible. During the public discussion phase, anybody
who is logged in can post comments that are publicly visible,
or restrict visibility to reviewers and up, ACs and up, or
just PCs. In addition, the author of a comment can decide to
post anonymously or not. Login is required before posting any
comment.
-
Once reviews have been posted, authors are encouraged to
revise their paper until the paper submission deadline.
Authors can participate in the discussion about their paper,
as well as about any other paper submitted to the conference,
at any time.
-
Full reviews are posted by Feb 28 '25. Reviews are
anonymous and publicly visible in OpenReview. Once the reviews
are posted, authors are free to upload modifications to the
paper during the discussion period.
-
During the discussion period, if you choose to update the
submission, a
git will be applied to compare new changes to the paper against
the original submission. Area chairs and reviewers reserve the
right to ignore changes that are significantly different from
the original paper. In addition, during this period, any
submission that is cited will be given an anonymous BibTex
entry.
-
After discussion there will be an internal discussion period
amongst reviewers and ACs with the aim of summarizing the
review process, after which acceptance decisions are made.
Papers that are not accepted will be considered non-archival,
and may be submitted elsewhere (modified or not), although the
OpenReview site will maintain the reviews, the comments, and
links to the versions submitted to MathAI.
-
All submitted papers (accepted or rejected) will be
deanonymized after the notification. The submissions and
reviews will be released to the public.
Reciprocal Reviewing Requirement
There is a requirement for authors to serve as reviewers based
on the number of papers they submit.
-
All authors who are on 3 or more papers must serve as a
reviewer for at least 6 papers. Authors in this category that
fail to finish reviews by rebuttal stage may have their paper
submissions desk rejected. Authors are exempt from the
reviewing requirement if they are serving as an AC, SAC, or
another organizing chair for MathAI.
-
In addition, all submissions must have at least one author who
is registered to review at least 3 papers. The registered
reviewer should be qualified to review, and they are qualified
if they have at least one accepted publication at a previous
conference or journal. If none of the authors are qualified
under this definition, then they are exempt from this
requirement. We encourage submissions from researchers new to
MathAI.
All authors will be notified to register as reviewers after the
abstract deadline. If none of the authors are registered as a
reviewer, it will result in desk rejection for the paper. The
program chairs may grant exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
Dual Submission Policy
Submissions that are identical (or substantially similar) to
versions that have been previously published, or accepted for
publication, or that have been submitted in parallel to this or
other conferences or journals, are not allowed and violate our
dual submission policy. However, papers that cite previous
related work by the authors and papers that have appeared on
non-peer reviewed websites (like arXiv) or that have been
presented at workshops (i.e., venues that do not have
publication proceedings) do not violate the policy. The policy
is enforced during the whole reviewing process period.
Submission of the paper to archival repositories such as arXiv
is allowed during the review period.
To allow citation of papers that are under review at MathAI,
OpenReview provides BibTeX entries that do not list the authors,
but does give the title, year and url. Author names are revealed
at the end of the conference.
The Use of Large Language Models (LLMs)
The use of LLMs is allowed as a general-purpose assist tool.
Authors and reviewers should understand that they take full
responsibility for the contents written under their name,
including content generated by LLMs that could be construed as
plagiarism or scientific misconduct (e.g., fabrication of
facts). LLMs are not eligible for authorship.
Withdrawal Policy
Authors have the right to withdraw papers from consideration at
any time until paper notification. Before the paper submission
deadline, if an author withdraws the paper it will be deleted
from the OpenReview hosting site. However, note that after the
paper submission deadline, if an author chooses to withdraw a
submission, it will remain hosted by OpenReview in a publicly
visible "withdrawn papers" section. Like on arXiv,
submissions to MathAI cannot be deleted or modified. Withdrawn
papers will be de-anonymized immediately.
