ICLR 2027 hits ~50,000 abstract submissions, up 2.5x from last year

Per The Decoder, ICLR 2027 has already drawn roughly 50,000 abstract submissions before the deadline, up from 19,500 at ICLR 2026 — a 2.5x jump in one year.
The flood is driven by AI hype, corporate pay tied to publication records, and above all AI making it far faster to crank out papers. The article argues this will only worsen existing quality problems with both submissions and peer review.
