ICLR 2027 has authorship quotas: - No more than 20 submissions per author - No more than 1 submission where no author has a paper previously accepted to a major ML conference From iclr.cc/Conferences/...
The coverage on this OpenAI incident is abysmal. Use of the terms "rogue" and "loss of human control" lead to groupthink as people lack the critical skills to understand the difference between "autonomy" and faulty reward functions in AI on a task it was directed and given access to do.
There are still open spots for the fast track at ProbML 2026, co-located with ICML in Korea. The fast track accepts papers published in other venues relevant to ProbML's focus areas (see above). If you're interested, please submit in the form below. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Final-Round Fast Track - Symposium on Probabilistic Machine Learning (ProbML), 2026
We have very few poster slots left and invite researchers to present papers on the development, analysis, or application of probabilistic machine learning that have previously been accepted at major m...

We just published a blog post on AI-generated papers in the Position Paper Track. The core issue is not whether AI can be useful, but who bears the cost of verifying AI-generated text in peer review. We have desk-rejected around 30% of submissions, with roughly 60% of these w/o an appeal option.
NeurIPS Conference@neuripsconf.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis year, the NeurIPS 2026 Position Paper Track made the decision to require that all papers be substantially human-written, with AI used for only copy-editing or similar peripheral changes to the main text!

FAQ on NeurIPS Europe: NeurIPS Europe is an official NeurIPS 2026 satellite event taking place in Paris, France, alongside the main conference in Sydney and the other satellite event in Atlanta. NeurIPS authors can present their papers at any of the three locations, subject to space availability.
We are implementing a similar policy at @arxiv.bsky.social. If there is incontrovertible evidence of LLM slop in a paper, this means the authors did not take the time to read the LLM output and we can't trust anything else in the paper. Penalty is 1 year ban from arXiv followed by...
If you are using intrinsic dimension (ID) estimators to understand what your neural network is doing, you should probably check out this paper. tl;dr: we prove that you are not measuring ID at all, but instead likely something much closer to entropy.
Rickmer Schulte@rickmer.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt was great to present and discuss our paper, “Rethinking Intrinsic Dimension Estimation in Neural Representations,” at #AISTATS 2026 last week🚀 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.20276 Joint work with @davidruegamer.bsky.social
The prior strikes back, awesome work by @davidruegamer.bsky.social’s group. Thanks to Julius for the great explanation. #AISTATS
Ahem, back to business... Decision notifications are being released on OpenReview. There were 23,918 submissions that entered review, roughly double last year. 6,352 papers were accepted, for an acceptance rate of 26.6%. 536 papers (2.2% of submissions) are "spotlights." 1/3
NeurIPS encourages and benefits from a diversity of papers and ideas, which can be developed in many different ways. This year, Main Track submissions can select a Contribution Type, including General, Theory, Use-Inspired, Concept & Feasibility, and Negative Results.
Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.
If you are planning to submit a paper to @neuripsconf.bsky.social and you need to create a new @openreview.bsky.social profile, do it today: OpenReview's profile moderation process is stricter than before, thus it may take longer for new users to have their account activated (up to 2 weeks).

We want to speak directly to the concern many of you have expressed, and we owe you a clear explanation of what happened, why it happened, and where we stand now. We understand this situation caused genuine alarm and we take that seriously.
Today NeurIPS is announcing our official satellite event in Paris. After responding to the call from Ellis following the success of EurIPS in December, we are pleased to reach a new milestone by joining forces with the NeurIPS organizing committee for the 2026 edition.

Missed the UAI deadline but want to get your results out soon? 🤔 Consider submitting to ProbML (Deadline: March 20) and join us in Seoul right before ICML 🇰🇷 👉 probml.cc 👈
David Rügamer@davidruegamer.bsky.social · 6mo agoProbably the best event on probabilistic ML I know 🔥🔥🔥 Highly recommended, especially if you cannot make the UAI deadline (we have a proceedings track published in PMLR!) or are already planning to attend ICML (for example, via the fast track to present an already published paper).

What is wild to me is the defense, BY THE NEURIPS BOARD, that fabricated citations do not mean "the content of the papers themselves [is] necessarily invalidated" It does. It very much does. What do you think citing other work is for? What do you think writing a paper is for? What do you *think*?
