The workshop, co-organized by the author and colleagues, accepts submissions until September 5, 2026, and the system is opt-in, with repositories deleted after the workshop.", "body_md": "# What does it mean for data to be AI ready?\n\nThat is the central question of\n[AIDaR: AI Data Readiness for Scientific Discovery](https://aidar-workshop.github.io/2026/),\na workshop I am co-organizing at NeurIPS in Paris this year with\n[Michal Rosen-Zvi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michal-rosen-zvi-948bb15/),\n[Zoe Piran](https://www.zoepiran.com/),\n[Kenny Workman](https://kenbw.com/),\n[Edaeni Hamid](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edaeni-hamid-phd-98946a87),\n[Vladimir Ermakov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimirermakov/), and\n[Arindam Sett](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arindam-sett-7325708/).\nWe are accepting submissions until September 5, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. AoE. Workshop submissions follow the standard NeurIPS process. Authors\n[submit a manuscript through OpenReview](https://openreview.net/group?id=NeurIPS.cc/2026/Workshop/AIDaR)\nand reviewers respond there.\n\nMuch of the code behind scientific papers is already managed through GitHub. Authors at some conferences use\n[Anonymous GitHub](https://anonymous.4open.science/)\nto share a read-only, anonymized copy of their repository. These repositories are useful for blinded peer review, but reviewers cannot take advantage of GitHub tools such as issues or pull requests to give targeted feedback on the work.\n\nThis limitation motivated a new submission system called\n[submityour.work](https://submityour.work/).\nThis system tests whether GitHub's review tools lead to more useful and reproducible feedback for workshop submissions. It also tests whether a consistent, machine-readable project is easier for people and agents to use.\n\n[submityour.work](https://submityour.work/)\nallows authors to connect their OpenReview submission to a private GitHub repository for review:\n\n-\n**Submission:** After submitting to OpenReview, authors submit their project folder using an AI agent, the command-line tool, or a browser. Authors do not need a GitHub account. -\n**Redaction:** The AIDaR submission tool removes Git history, checks a temporary copy for names and common secret patterns, and sends the files to a private GitHub repository. The server does not retain the uploaded copy. -\n**Review:** Reviewers inspect the files and leave feedback through GitHub issues and pull requests. Authors can use a stable submission ID to submit revisions and respond through the same system.\n\n[submityour.work](https://submityour.work/)\nis a prototype we built for this workshop. Participation is entirely opt-in and does not affect your chances of acceptance. We developed it to learn what an AI-data-ready workshop submission might require. If authors use it, we can learn what works, what fails, and which safeguards are missing. We expect to make improvements. If you have questions or feedback, please feel free to email\n[aidar.neurips.2026.paris@gmail.com](mailto:aidar.neurips.2026.paris@gmail.com).\n\n## What happens after decisions are made?\n\nOnce decisions are made, authors who submitted their work through the pilot can ask us for a copy of their repository or request a transfer to their GitHub account. A transferred repository will include reviewer comments or contributions only with the reviewers' consent. We will delete all remaining repositories after the workshop.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-does-it-mean-for-data-to-be-ai-ready", "canonical_source": "https://sina.bio/posts/what-does-it-mean-for-data-to-be-ai-ready.html", "published_at": "2026-08-29 22:35:25+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-29 22:48:20.950574+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-research", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["AIDaR", "NeurIPS", "submityour.work", "OpenReview", "GitHub", "Michal Rosen-Zvi", "Zoe Piran", "Kenny Workman"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-does-it-mean-for-data-to-be-ai-ready", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-does-it-mean-for-data-to-be-ai-ready.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-does-it-mean-for-data-to-be-ai-ready.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-does-it-mean-for-data-to-be-ai-ready.jsonld"}}
