Paper fit

Contribution paths

A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.

Workshop Paper

Submissions must be up to 4 pages in NeurIPS 2026 format, with unlimited references and supplemental materials. Papers are non-archival and may be submitted to journals afterward. Accepted papers will be presented in poster sessions, with selected ones chosen for oral presentations and best paper awards.

Research areas in scope

Generative AI + OR Integration

Policy design, learning, and evaluation powered by Generative AI and digital twinsDecision-focused training of generative modelsIntegration of Generative AI into data-driven optimization and operational decision-makingEvaluating catastrophic risks of Generative AI using OR techniques, and conversely addressing rare-event problems using generative modelingAgentic AI for closed-loop decision-making and autonomous operational systems
