## AI overview

A candid account of planning an ML survey paper through three notebook sittings. The author describes choosing a topic, researching venues, drafting in Overleaf, missing an AMLC submission deadline, and abandoning the project after needing to find an internal transfer.

## Source excerpt

Useful for anyone in a similar spot.
