# NeurIPS Writing Style
NeurIPS writing must make a technical contribution legible to reviewers outside the authors' exact
subfield. Good style is precise, evidence-calibrated, and checklist-aware.
## Introduction pattern
1. Name the problem and why current ML practice cannot solve it.
2. Identify the specific gap in method, theory, data, evaluation, system, or understanding.
3. State the contribution type and why it fits NeurIPS.
4. Preview the evidence that supports the claim.
5. Bound the claim with limitations, assumptions, or failure modes.
