1# AAAI Related Work
2 
3Use this to make the novelty claim robust under AAAI's broad AI review. The related-work section
4must help reviewers distinguish the paper from both archival work and contemporaneous non-archival
5work.

7## Positioning checks
8 
9- Identify the closest archival AI papers and current arXiv/workshop work.
10- Separate method novelty, task novelty, evaluation novelty, and system integration novelty.
11- Cite contemporaneous non-archival work carefully when it affects priority or reviewer
12  expectations.
13- Do not submit substantially similar work to multiple archival venues at the same time.
14- Explain how the paper differs from AAAI/IJCAI/NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR neighbors in assumptions,
15  evidence, scope, and contribution.
16- Avoid using AI systems as citable scientific sources under AAAI policy.

18## Novelty paragraph

20Use this structure:
21 
22```text
23Closest prior work solves <problem> under <assumptions>.
24It does not address <specific missing setting/mechanism/evidence>.
25This paper contributes <new item> and verifies it through <evidence>.
26The claim is limited to <scope>.

29## Positioning across AAAI's breadth
30 
31AAAI spans search, planning, knowledge representation, constraint satisfaction, multi-agent systems,
32learning, NLP, vision, and robotics, so the closest prior work may live in a subfield your reviewer
33does not. Make the contrast explicit for a non-specialist instead of assuming shared background.
