# NeurIPS Topic Selection
Use this skill before committing to NeurIPS. The target is not "any good AI paper"; it is a paper
whose contribution will matter to the NeurIPS reviewer community and survive the current official
track rules.
## Fit signals
Strong NeurIPS candidates usually have one of these cores:
- a general ML method, model, objective, optimization, inference, or learning principle;
- a theory result that changes understanding of ML behavior or limits;
- a high-quality empirical finding about models, data, evaluation, robustness, or scaling;
- a use-inspired result with a real scientific, social, health, robotics, sustainability, or
