Andrew G. Wilson, Program Chair for ICML 2027, publicly asked for suggestions on handling exploding submission counts, AI slop, reviewing burdens, and bureaucracy.
One ML researcher replied that the prospective desk is reportedly using a SOTA LLM to desk-reject about 90% of submissions, and recommended tuning the LLM prompt on a small PC-level test set before deployment. It's a rare glimpse of top venues embedding LLMs directly into the triage pipeline to fight AI-generated slop.
