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

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.

Data
Demonstration mode uses the papers, reviewers, meta-reviewers, affinity matrices, and conflict matrices stored on the server.
Upload your own JSON data to run assignment in normal mode.

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.
