NeurIPS readiness for agentic system papers without strong empirical evidence

April 4, 2026r/MachineLearning

In r/MachineLearning, researchers debate whether an agentic system paper with proofs but few examples is worth submitting, with reviewers expected to want empirical evidence even when benchmarks do not fit real data complexity.

Considering NeurIPS submission [D]
I have formal mathematical proof for convergence of a novel agentic system plus a compelling application to a real world use case.
a reasonable reader would probably like to see some empirical evidence.
