OpenAI researcher: papers we send to *CL venues are now mostly award bait

BlancheMinerva · x · 2026-09-22

Blanche Minerva (OpenAI) explains her team now only submits to CL venues: (1) work hard to publish at NeurIPS et al, like multilinguality and tokenizers; (2) work meant to reach the NLP community, usually interpretability; (3) award bait. Context: as LLMs broadened beyond language, much NLP research has migrated to ICML/ICLR/NeurIPS.
