Format. All submissions must be in PDF format. Submissions are limited to four content pages, including all figures and tables; unlimited additional pages containing references and supplementary materials are allowed. Reviewers may choose to read the supplementary materials but will not be required to. Camera-ready versions may go up to five content pages.

Style file. You must format your submission using the NeurIPS 2021 LaTeX style file. For your convenience, we have modified the main conference style file to refer to the DistShift workshop:

Please include the references and supplementary materials in the same PDF as the main paper. The maximum file size for submissions is 50MB. Submissions that violate the NeurIPS style (e.g., by decreasing margins or font sizes) or page limits may be rejected without further review. Filling up the NeurIPS checklist is not compulsory.

Double-blind reviewing. The reviewing process will be double blind. As an author, you are responsible for anonymizing your submission. In particular, you should not include author names, author affiliations, or acknowledgements in your submission and you should avoid providing any other identifying information (even in the supplementary material).

Dual-submission policy. We welcome ongoing and unpublished work. We will also accept papers that are under review (at any venue, including ICLR 2022) at the time of submission, or that have been recently accepted for publication at a non-ML venue (i.e., any venue that is not ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, or a similar conference or journal). Submissions published in venues for related fields (e.g., NLP, computer vision, statistics) are welcome.

Non-archival. The workshop is a non-archival venue and will not have official proceedings. Workshop submissions can be subsequently or concurrently submitted to other venues.

Visibility. Submissions and reviews will not be public. Only accepted papers will be made public.

Mentorship. We encourage junior authors to participate in our Author Mentorship Program. Please consider volunteering as a mentor if you are a more experienced researcher.
