AAMAS Author Response

Use this after AAMAS preliminary reviews are released. Reopen the current OpenReview instructions and the rebuttal-window rules before drafting; response mechanics are cycle-specific and AAMAS reviews and decisions become public afterward.

Triage

• Answer only what can move the decision: correctness of the game model or proofs, the reality of the interaction claim, baseline/opponent fairness, reproducibility, and scope.
• Use evidence already in the submission: sections, appendices, the supplement, theorem statements, learning curves, and opponent-set definitions. AAMAS rebuttals do not add new results and typically do not upload a revised paper.
• Keep the reply anonymous: no institution, no named system, no private URLs or repository owners.
• Correct outright factual errors first, then address requests for missing comparisons, ablations, equilibrium analysis, or seeds.

Drafting pattern

1. State the decision-critical correction or concession in the first line.
2. Point to the exact submitted evidence (section, figure, appendix, or theorem number).
3. Explain the strategic or empirical consequence for the reviewer's concern.
4. Promise a camera-ready wording fix only if it adds no unsupported new claim.

Multi-reviewer pushback patterns

AAMAS pools game theorists, MARL researchers, and systems-minded reviewers on one paper, so a single rebuttal often answers three different lenses at once.
