uai-writing-style

Use when revising a UAI manuscript for probabilistic-inference readers, enforcing precise notation for distributions, graphs, and interventions, explicit assumption and identifiability statements, an 8-page main part that carries the whole argument while proofs sit in the appendix, and claims calibrated to what the theory and experiments show.

# UAI Writing Style

Use this during revision. The UAI readership lives on probabilistic reasoning, graphical
models, causality, and Bayesian methods, and the posted review criteria end with
"clarity of writing" as a first-class axis. At this venue clarity is mostly a formal
property: whether every symbol, assumption, and probability statement means exactly one
thing.

## Notation is the first review

Probabilistic papers die by notation drift more than by grammar. Enforce a single
notational regime before polishing sentences:

- One symbol per object: if `p` is a density, do not let it moonlight as a probability
