CVPR's 25-papers-per-author cap sparks backlash: 'AI slop' submitters just throw darts
mofoss · reddit · 2026-11-05
CVPR 2027 guidelines keep the rule allowing each author up to 25 submissions, with desk-rejection for excess. The poster argues the cap is tone-deaf to the AI-driven research climate: slop authors can throw 25 AI-generated darts and gamble on one landing with careless reviewers, collect the CVPR stamp, and move on.
They're not against sound AI-assisted research, but suggest capping first-author submissions at 2-3: it incentivizes caring about first-authorship, makes authors invest in quality over volume, and massively cuts reviewer load. The post also calls out institutions in certain countries churning A stamps for career advancement regardless of ethics.
