ICLR caps authors at 20 submissions; scholar protests, citing AI-generated reviews
机器之心 · wechat · 2026-08-01
ICLR 2027 introduces a rule limiting each author to 20 submissions, with random rejection for excess, to cope with surging submissions (19,525 in 2026, up 68%) and review overload. University of Toronto professor Dan Roy launches a petition against it, sarcastically noting AI agents can now produce incremental research and reviews are already handled by LLMs. A previous analysis found 21% of ICLR reviews were likely fully AI-generated. The debate: is capping submissions the right fix when AI is flooding both papers and reviews?
