What does it mean for data to be AI ready? (sina.bio)

AIDaR: AI Data Readiness for Scientific Discovery is hosting a workshop at NeurIPS 2026, co-organized by prominent figures in the AI/ML community. The workshop seeks to explore what it means for data to be "AI ready" and is introducing an innovative submission process via a prototype platform called submityour.work. This new system allows authors to connect their manuscript submissions on OpenReview with a private GitHub repository, enabling the use of GitHub's robust review tools like issues and pull requests to provide more targeted feedback. The system is designed to create a more reproducible review process while ensuring the anonymity of authors. This initiative is significant as it addresses the limitations of existing submission methods that hinder productive reviewer engagement. By allowing for machine-readable, well-organized project submissions, the AIDaR workshop aims to enhance collaboration and feedback in scientific research. The prototype also serves as an experimental framework to collect valuable insights into what constitutes an AI-data-ready submission, paving the way for future improvements and making strides towards more efficient academic practices in AI/ML research. Feedback is encouraged from participants to refine the prototype for ongoing use.
