ICLR 2027 tops 60k+ submissions, more than all prior ICLRs combined, as 20-paper author cap draws fire

MarkNeumannnn · x · 2026-09-20

ICLR 2027 has reportedly received 60,000+ submissions — more than all previous ICLR conferences combined. Quoting that figure, botsandbits argues the conference's per-author cap of 20 papers is "insanely large": with conferences running every 4 months, nobody meaningfully contributes to 20 papers in that span, and the cap should be 3 instead. The exchange highlights runaway submission growth and authorship inflation at top ML venues.
