Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, ACM CCS,
Top-tier conferences are extremely competitive. The ACM CCS (Computer and Communications Security) conference has an acceptance rate of around 18–20%. ICML (International Conference on Machine Learning) usually maintains 20–22% acceptance. The AAAI (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence) conference also accepts about 18–20% of submissions. These low rates highlight the high-quality research standards and strong peer-review processes. Students should focus on novelty, solid methodology, and clear contributions to improve their chances of getting accepted in such selective venues.
