Use when designing or auditing the evidence in an ECAI paper — choosing proof versus experiment by claim shape across ECAI's breadth (theory/KR, planning/search, ML, multi-agent, applied), fair baselines, seeds and spread, honest ablations, and provenance, all supporting a claim inside a 7-page body.

# ECAI Experiments

The ECAI question is always the same: **is the evidence proportional to the claim?** But ECAI spans
symbolic and applied AI, so "evidence" ranges from a **proof** to a **fair empirical comparison**.
Choosing the right *kind* of evidence for your claim shape is the first and most important decision.

## Choose the evidence type by claim shape

| Claim | Primary evidence | Common ECAI failure |
|---|---|---|
| "Complete / sound / optimal / (1+ε)-bounded" | A **proof**, all assumptions explicit | Asserting it empirically only |
| "More efficient / fewer expansions / faster" | A **controlled comparison** on standard instances, with spread | One lucky run; unfair baseline tuning |
| "Learns/generalizes/calibrates better" | Fair comparison + a *reason why*, seeds, significance | A single benchmark delta with no mechanism |
| "Handles a broader class / new setting" | A construction/encoding + worked cases | Toy examples only |
