Pain Point in AI Academia: Difficulty Adding Authors After Conference Acceptance
liuzhuang1234 · x · 2026-08-05
Researcher Zhuang Liu discussed a subtle pain point in the current AI academic conference review system: the difficulty of adding new project members as authors after submission.
- The Problem: Projects naturally evolve after submission, and people come and go. Oftentimes, new contributors are needed even for rebuttals, but current policies forbid adding new authors once a paper is accepted.
- Limitations: While the policy aims to mitigate authorship abuse, it doesn't fundamentally solve the issue.
- Potential Fix: Shortening the review cycle would indirectly reduce this "no-addition" window, alleviating the negative impact.
