Capping ICLR submissions per author wouldn't meaningfully cut review load, analysis finds

Amid the debate over ICLR's submission surge, Jonas Geiping shares a simulation arguing that per-author submission caps would only modestly reduce reviewer load. Even under the unrealistically strict "eliminate by submission order" scheme, capping authors at 3 papers wouldn't change the growth trend much, and more realistic removal-minimizing approaches would cut even fewer papers. His takeaway: submission caps are not an effective lever for ICLR's review pressure.
