Conference Policy on the Use of Generative AI Tools

ICAISF 2026 Policy

Authors and reviewers must read and comply with this policy before submission.

Permitted & Responsible Use
Authors may use Generative AI tools responsibly for language improvement, grammar correction, formatting, coding assistance, literature support, or improving the readability of the manuscript. However, the final submission must represent the authors' own original intellectual contribution.
AI Tools Cannot Be Listed as Authors
Generative AI tools — including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or any similar system — cannot be listed as authors or co-authors. Authorship is limited to human contributors who can take full responsibility for the content, originality, accuracy, and integrity of the submitted work.
Mandatory Disclosure in the Manuscript
Authors must clearly disclose any substantial use of Generative AI tools. Authors should add a separate section titled "Generative AI Declaration" immediately before the References section, providing details of: the tool used, purpose of use, sections of the manuscript where the tool was applied, and any figures, tables, code, data analysis, methodology, literature review, or research ideas assisted by such tools. Basic grammar correction or language polishing does not require mandatory disclosure.
Author Responsibility for AI-Assisted Content
Authors are fully responsible for verifying all content produced or assisted by Generative AI tools, including facts, references, citations, equations, code, results, figures, and conclusions. Fabricated citations, false claims, manipulated results, generated fake data, or misleading figures are strictly prohibited.
AI-Generated Figures, Diagrams & Visual Content
Images, diagrams, tables, or figures created or substantially modified using Generative AI tools must be clearly identified and disclosed. Such content must not misrepresent experimental results, real datasets, real photographs, or actual implementations.
Confidentiality Obligation for Reviewers & Committee Members
Reviewers, Program Committee members, and Editors must not upload submitted manuscripts, reviews, author responses, figures, tables, code, or supplementary materials to public Generative AI tools or external platforms. All submissions and review materials must be treated as strictly confidential.
Substantially AI-Generated Manuscripts
If a manuscript appears to be substantially generated by Generative AI tools, particularly where such use has not been disclosed, the submission may be subject to further editorial review. If the content is found to lack sufficient original scholarly contribution, contain fabricated or unverifiable material, or violate the conference policy on the use of Generative AI tools, the paper may be desk rejected or rejected at any stage of the review process.
Non-compliance with this policy may result in desk rejection or withdrawal from proceedings. If you are uncertain about your use of AI tools, please contact info@icaisf.com before submission.

Camera-Ready Guidelines

Please note that it is mandatory that authors must address all the changes suggested by the reviewers (if any). Authors must follow the three steps below to complete their camera-ready submission.

Step 1: IEEE-Xplore-Compatible PDF Generation

Authors must convert their paper to PDF format and verify its compatibility using the IEEE PDF eXpress tool available at ieee-pdf-express.org.

To use the tool, create an account with the following details:

  • Conference ID: 70757
  • Your email address
  • A password of your choice

Previous users of IEEE PDF eXpress should use the same username and password as used for previous conferences. After uploading your paper, you will receive an email indicating whether the file has passed or failed validation. Your paper must pass validation before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Camera-Ready Paper Submission

Once you have an IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF, log in to Microsoft CMT and go to the Author Console. Select "Create Camera Ready Submission", upload your validated PDF file, and click Submit.

Camera-Ready Submission Checklist for Authors

Please go through every point carefully before uploading your files to CMT.

Template & Format Compliance
Use the official IEEE conference template. Do not alter margins, column widths, line spacing, or fonts — all are prescribed by the template.
Use the A4-size IEEE template (this conference). Do not use the US letter-size version.
Paper must not exceed 5 pages in IEEE two-column format. Additional pages will incur an extra charge.
Do not add page numbers anywhere in the paper — the template handles pagination.
If you used the IEEE template as-is to draft your paper, ensure all placeholder/sample text (e.g., "This electronic document is a live template…") has been removed before submission.
Title & Author Information
Paper title does not contain symbols, special characters, footnotes, or math.
Author names must be final, correct, and written consistently. Do not include titles such as Dr., Prof., Professor, PhD, Engr., Mr., or Ms. in the author line. Check spelling, order, and sequence of authors before submission.
Author names are listed left to right, then continuing on the next line — not grouped by affiliation or listed in columns.
Each author's affiliation block must follow the IEEE 5-line format: (1) Given Name Surname, (2) Department, (3) Organisation, (4) City, Country, (5) Email or ORCID.
Affiliations are kept succinct — departments of the same organisation are not differentiated.
For more than 6 authors, names are added horizontally and continue to a third row if needed.

Abstract & Keywords
Abstract does not contain symbols, special characters, footnotes, math, or citations.
Abstract uses the run-in head style beginning with "Abstract—" in italic.
Keywords are listed after the abstract, prefixed with "Keywords—".
Text & Content Structure
Section headings use the correct IEEE styles (Heading 1–4 for text heads; Heading 5 for Acknowledgment and References). Do not number headings manually.
Abbreviations and acronyms are defined at first use in the text — even if already defined in the abstract. Common ones (IEEE, SI, MKS, etc.) do not need defining.
Abbreviations are not used in the title or headings unless unavoidable.
SI (MKS) or CGS units are used as primary units. Mixed SI/CGS units are avoided. Spellings and abbreviations of units are not mixed (e.g., use "Wb/m²" or "webers per square meter", not both).
Zero is used before decimal points: "0.25" not ".25".
No hard tabs used; hard returns limited to one per paragraph end. No extra spacing or pagination added manually.
There is no period after "et" in "et al." — and "i.e." and "e.g." are used correctly.
Figures & Tables
Figures and tables are placed at the top or bottom of columns — not in the middle. Large figures/tables may span both columns.
Figure captions are placed below the figure; table titles (heads) are placed above the table.
Figures are referenced in the text before they appear and labelled as "Fig. 1" (even at the beginning of a sentence).
Figure labels use 8 pt Times New Roman. Axis labels use full words (not abbreviations or symbols alone), with units in parentheses, e.g., "Magnetization (A/m)".
Graphics are ideally 300 dpi TIFF or EPS files with all fonts embedded. Inserted using a text box for stability.
IEEE Table — Example Layout
Table I.     An Example Table
S.No Description Accuracy(%) Percentage(%)
1 More table copy 93.4 100
2 Another 89.7 49.9
Equations & Symbols
Equations use Times New Roman or Symbol font only.
Equations are numbered consecutively. Numbers appear flush right in parentheses, e.g., (1). Refer to them as "(1)", not "Eq. (1)" — except at the start of a sentence.
Roman symbols for quantities and variables are italicised; Greek symbols are not.
All variables and symbols are defined before or immediately after first use. Equations are punctuated with commas or periods when part of a sentence.
Citations & References
Citations are numbered consecutively in square brackets, e.g., [1]. Sentence punctuation follows the bracket: "...end of sentence [2]."
References are cited as "[3]" — not "Ref. [3]" or "reference [3]", except at the start of a sentence.
All author names are given unless there are six or more — "et al." is only used for 6+ authors.
Only the first word of a paper title is capitalised in the reference list, except for proper nouns and element symbols.
Unpublished papers are cited as "unpublished"; accepted-but-not-yet-published papers are cited as "in press".
Footnotes are numbered separately in superscripts and placed at the bottom of the column in which they are cited — not in the abstract or reference list.
DOIs and online links (arXiv, GitHub, Code Ocean, etc.) are included where available, following IEEE reference style.

Reference Details and Common Mistakes: Each reference must be complete and accurate. Include full author names, complete title, journal or conference name, volume, issue, page numbers, publisher where applicable, year, and DOI where available. Incomplete or AI-generated references must be corrected before camera-ready submission.

Correct Example: Journal Paper
[1] E. Carter, M. Anderson, S. Williams, and J. Thompson, "Deep learning-based image classification for medical diagnosis," IEEE Trans. Neural Netw. Learn. Syst., vol. 34, no. 5, pp. 2210–2225, May 2023, doi: 10.1109/TNNLS.2023.0012345.
Correct Example: Conference Paper

Correct Example: Online / Preprint
[3] S. Williams and J. Thompson, "Transformer architectures for real-time anomaly detection," 2024, arXiv:2401.09876. [Online]. Available: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.09876
Incorrect Example: Incomplete Author Names Using et al.
[4] Carter et al., "A convolutional neural network model for plant disease detection." IEEE Conf., 2022.
Why this is incorrect: This reference uses "et al." instead of full author names, omits the volume, issue, and page numbers, does not include the full conference name, and is missing a DOI. The title capitalisation is also incorrect — only the first word should be capitalised.
Corrected Version
[4] E. Carter, M. Anderson, O. Martinez, and D. Brown, "A convolutional neural network model for plant disease detection using leaf images," in Proc. IEEE Int. Conf. Comput. Vision Smart Agric., Austin, TX, USA, 2022, pp. 88–99, doi: 10.1109/ICCVSA.2022.0088.
Final Quality Checks
"Acknowledgment" is spelled without an "e" after the "g" (American English). Sponsor acknowledgments appear in an unnumbered footnote on the first page.
Common mistakes checked: "data" is plural; subscripts use zero (0), not the letter "o"; "non" prefix joined to words without a hyphen.
Grammar, spelling, and scientific clarity verified. Paper has been proofread in full.
The final PDF has been validated via IEEE PDF eXpress (Conference ID: 70757) and passed.
The paper has been submitted previously unpublished and is not currently under review elsewhere.

Technical Paper Guidelines

Expected structure and technical content guidelines for ICAISF paper submissions.

Title

The title should be compact, specific, and directly relevant to the research problem. It should clearly indicate the main idea, proposed method, and application area where applicable. Avoid vague, overly long, or general titles.

Abstract

The abstract should briefly summarize the problem, proposed method, major contribution, and key findings. It should be concise and focused, preferably within one short paragraph. Do not include citations, equations, or special characters.

Keywords

Keywords should be written in one line only. Include 4 to 6 relevant terms that represent the research area, method, dataset/domain, and application.

Introduction

Do not use subheadings inside the introduction. Write two to three connected paragraphs:

  • Paragraph 1: Introduce the broader research area and its importance.
  • Paragraph 2: Explain the specific research problem, limitations of existing work, and the research gap.
  • Paragraph 3: Briefly introduce the proposed work.
After these paragraphs, include a short bulleted list of research objectives and another short bulleted list of major contributions. End with a brief paper organisation paragraph.
Related Work

Do not use subheadings inside the related work section. Critically analyze at least 12–15 recent and relevant research papers. The discussion should compare methods, datasets, strengths, limitations, and research gaps. Avoid writing only descriptive summaries of papers.

A compact comparison table may be included if useful, with columns such as: Reference | Method | Dataset | Contribution | Limitation.
Materials and Methods

This section may include subsections. It should clearly explain how the research was conducted and provide enough technical detail for reproducibility.

Dataset Description

Describe the dataset source, size, features, classes/categories, data format, preprocessing steps, and any data split used for training, validation, and testing.

Proposed Methodology

Explain the complete workflow of the proposed approach from input to output. Include a block diagram, flowchart, or system architecture diagram where possible. Clearly explain each major step, model, framework, or technique used.

Algorithm or Pseudocode

If the paper includes a computational method, model pipeline, or decision-making procedure, include an algorithm or pseudocode. Clearly mention input, processing steps, and output.

Implementation Details

Briefly describe the programming language, tools, libraries, frameworks, hardware, operating system, GPU/CPU, RAM, or cloud environment used for implementation.

Experimental Results

This section should present the strongest evidence of the proposed work. It may include the following subsections:

Experimental Setup

Briefly explain how experiments were conducted. Mention dataset split, training/testing protocol, validation strategy, baseline methods, parameter settings, and hardware/software setup.

Evaluation Metrics

Select metrics appropriate to the research problem:

  • Classification: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score, Confusion Matrix, ROC-AUC, Specificity
  • Regression: MAE, MSE, RMSE, R-squared
  • Detection / Segmentation: IoU, mAP, Dice Score, Pixel Accuracy

Include formulas where necessary.

Results and Comparative Analysis

Clearly present results using tables, figures, graphs, confusion matrices, or qualitative examples. Compare the proposed method with baseline methods. This part must clearly show the improvement, effectiveness, or usefulness of the proposed method.

Error Analysis and Discussion

Discuss failure cases, limitations, unusual results, and technical reasons behind observed performance. Do not only repeat values from tables. Explain why the method performed well or poorly and what the findings mean.

Conclusion

Write the conclusion as one compact paragraph. It should summarize the research problem, proposed approach, major achievements, and significance of the results. Mention future work briefly within the same paragraph. Do not create a separate Future Work section.

References

References must follow IEEE numerical citation style. Each reference should include complete details: author names, paper title, journal or conference name, volume, issue, pages, year, DOI, and URL where available. References must be numbered in the order they appear in the paper.
