Research Paper Writing Pipeline — Setup Guide¶
Source: nousresearch/hermes-agent (396 installs) Originally from: master-cai/research-paper-writing-skills Category: Research / Academic License: MIT · Platforms: Linux, macOS, Windows Dependencies: Python 3.10+, LaTeX (optional)
End-to-end pipeline for producing publication-ready ML/AI research papers targeting top venues: NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, and COLM. Covers the full research lifecycle: experiment design, execution, monitoring, analysis, paper writing, review, revision, and submission.
⚠️ This is not a linear pipeline — it is an iterative loop. Results trigger new experiments. Reviews trigger new analysis. The agent must handle these feedback loops.
What It Does¶
| Phase | Capability |
|---|---|
| Experiment design | Hypothesis formulation, ablation planning, baseline selection |
| Execution | Run experiments, track metrics, log results |
| Monitoring | Track training curves, detect anomalies, early stopping |
| Analysis | Statistical tests, visualization, significance reporting |
| Paper writing | Structured LaTeX/PDF output with venue-specific templates |
| Review response | Draft rebuttals, revise based on reviewer feedback |
| Submission | Format check, supplementary material, camera-ready prep |
Installation¶
Via skills.sh (Recommended)¶
npx skills add https://github.com/nousresearch/hermes-agent --skill research-paper-writing
Direct from Hermes Agent Repo¶
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nousresearch/hermes-agent.git /tmp/hermes-agent
cp -r /tmp/hermes-agent/skills/research/research-paper-writing ~/.hermes/skills/
Supported Venues¶
| Venue | Field | Template |
|---|---|---|
| NeurIPS | ML/AI | NeurIPS LaTeX style |
| ICML | Machine Learning | ICML LaTeX style |
| ICLR | Learning Representations | ICLR LaTeX style |
| ACL | Computational Linguistics | ACL LaTeX style |
| AAAI | Artificial Intelligence | AAAI LaTeX style |
| COLM | Language Modeling | COLM LaTeX style |
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Hermes Agent | v0.20.0+ |
| Python | 3.10+ with numpy, scipy, matplotlib |
| LaTeX | texlive-full (recommended for PDF output) |
| GPU access | Optional — for experiment execution |
Verification¶
After install, test with:
Hermes, help me design an ablation study for a transformer-based model comparing attention mechanisms.
The agent should walk through hypothesis formulation, experimental design, and suggest a structured approach following the research pipeline.
Pitfalls¶
- Iterative, not linear: The pipeline loops. Don't expect a one-pass paper — expect rounds of experiment → analyze → revise.
- LaTeX dependency: PDF output requires a working LaTeX installation (
texliveormiktex). - Venue-specific formatting: Each venue has strict formatting requirements. Verify the template version before submission.
- Snyk warning: The skill carries a SnykWarn security audit. Review before use in sensitive research environments.
