AIStats 2027 Questions [D]

Hi All, Was reading AIStats' website and it seems like abstract submission is due in 3 weeks. Does anyone know where to find the LaTex template for 2027? It seems like very little information is available on their website. Another question, is a Quant Finance paper a better fit for AIStats or ICLR? Some background about the paper: Rejected by UAI with 76654, had some errors with proofs had to fix it by re-writing 9 pages during rebuttal. AC rejected the paper saying the changes were too substantial and unable to be fully verified during rebuttal period. Resubmitted the fixed paper to a finance conference, won best paper award (best paper for this conference usually end up in journals like JQFA, which is just 1 tier below the big 3 in finance), had the chief editors of a Q1 finance/math journal in the conference verbally offering he will take this paper if we submit it to his journal. Unfortunatley my department requires at least 1 Comp Sci paper to graduate, so my plan is to try and get this paper accepted into a Comp Sci conference, then submit an extension to that Q1 Finance/Math journal. Rejected again at ICDM, despite having all positive scores. Our AC meta-review was blank so we still do not know why we were rejected. All of our emails receieved no reply. I am torn between ICLR or AIStats to re-submit this paper to. My worries are: In comp sci venues we frequently get comments like "this paper lacks novelty. The method is just XXXXX, the math is just XXXXX." But I had a scroll through at previous year's AIStats papers for key words like finance and there were none. It seems like AIStats is very pure stats, not that applied. My co-author is worried that the math in our paper is not hardcore enough. We have never submitted to neither venues in the past. Would be nice to get some advice. submitted by /u/d_edge_sword [link] [留言]
