What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Check how much time is left before the next major AI conference submission deadline without hunting across dozens of conference websites.

USE CASE 2

Add a missing conference deadline by editing a YAML file and submitting a pull request.

USE CASE 3

Track abstract deadlines separately from full paper deadlines for conferences you are targeting.

So what is it?

AI Deadlines is a website that shows countdown timers for paper submission deadlines at major AI research conferences. It covers conferences in computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, and robotics. Rather than manually tracking dozens of deadlines scattered across conference websites, researchers can visit one page and see how much time remains before each submission window closes. The conference data lives in a single YAML file in the repository. Each entry records the conference title, year, website link, submission deadline, timezone, location, and the area it covers (such as CV for computer vision or NLP for natural language processing). Some entries also include a separate abstract deadline, since many conferences require a short abstract a few days before the full paper is due. The project is community-maintained. Anyone can add a missing conference or fix an outdated deadline by editing the YAML file and submitting a pull request. The README notes that the site aims to list top-tier conferences only, so very small or regional events are generally out of scope. For those, the README points to a number of community forks that cover narrower areas such as security conferences, human-computer interaction, distributed systems, medical imaging, and Python-specific events. The codebase is JavaScript and was originally built as a GitHub Pages site, meaning it runs directly from the repository without a dedicated server. Now maintained under the Papers with Code organization, it remains a lightweight reference tool for the AI research community.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I want to add a missing AI conference deadline to the ai-deadlines site. What fields do I need in the YAML file and how do I submit a pull request?

Prompt 2

I'm a computer vision researcher. How do I filter the ai-deadlines list to show only conferences tagged as CV, and which ones have the soonest deadlines?

Prompt 3

I want to fork ai-deadlines and create a version that only shows security conference deadlines. What do I need to change in the YAML data file and the JavaScript rendering?
