Setup Panel: Workspace Overview

What This Page Supports

This workspace combines four conference-management functions in one interface: paper assignment, reviewer discovery, oral session organization, and poster session organization. Each task keeps its own setup area and result area so users can switch tasks without mixing controls.

Inputs You Will Provide

Assignment: demo mode uses server-side reviewer/meta-reviewer matrices; normal mode accepts uploaded submissions, reviewers, meta-reviewers, and COI data.

Reviewer Discovery: currently disabled while the backend workflow is still being integrated.

Oral / Poster: session parameters over the server-side SIGIR presentation demo and similarity matrix, plus optional LLM-generated session names.

How To Use It

1. Select a task in the sidebar.
2. Configure the task-specific inputs in the top setup panel.
3. Run the algorithm and inspect the output in the main panel.
4. Manually edit assignments or schedules where the task supports editing.
5. Export the final assignment or session arrangement after manual edits if needed.

Functions

Function 1
Paper Assignment
Assigns papers to reviewers and meta-reviewers. Demo mode uses server-side affinity matrices; normal mode computes assignment from uploaded paper and reviewer data plus COI constraints.
Function 2
Reviewer Discovery
This tab is currently being integrated. The page stays visible as a placeholder, but its controls are disabled until the reviewer-discovery backend is finalized.
Function 3
Oral Session Organization
Groups oral papers into time slots and parallel tracks, checks presenter conflicts across parallel sessions, supports manual moves, and can generate concise session names with an LLM.
Function 4
Poster Session Organization
Arranges posters into line, circle, or rectangle floor plans, supports manual board reassignment, and exports the final schedule with editable session names.

Technical Details

The system maps papers and PC members to a shared IR taxonomy as sparse topic distributions. Text signals come from titles, abstracts, and PC publication histories, with lightweight keyword and hint-based routing to fine-grained leaf topics.
Paper Assignment has two execution paths: a demo path backed by server-side affinity/conflict matrices, and a normal path that derives topic-based similarities from uploaded JSON data before solving the same capacity-constrained assignment problem.
Reviewer Discovery is currently marked as work in progress. The frontend placeholder remains in the navigation so the unified layout stays stable while the backend integration is completed.
Oral organization builds session centroids from paper topic distributions and places papers into tracks and time slots to maximize topical coherence under hard capacity constraints and presenter conflict rules.
Poster organization fills a configurable venue layout where each cell corresponds to one poster board. Both oral and poster results support manual reassignment and LLM-based session naming after the initial run.
The frontend and backend are separated. The HTML page calls dedicated backend modules for assignment, discovery, oral scheduling, and poster scheduling through JSON API endpoints.

Setup Panel: Reviewer Discovery

Status

Reviewer Discovery is still in progress. The backend integration for candidate retrieval and gap analysis is being revised and the interactive controls are intentionally disabled for this build.

Planned Scope

The final version will surface reviewer-demand gaps, search candidate reviewers from external sources, and let users inspect how recommended additions reduce uncovered topical demand.
