ECIR Reviewer: Multiple Papers Over Page Limit Are 100% AI-Generated
bclavie · x · 2026-11-12
NLP researcher bclavie calls this year's IR venue reviews the bleakest ever: several ECIR papers exceeded page limits and were 100% AI-generated, down to lines like "No new experiments, as requested." He says reviewing now amounts to LLMs judging LLM-written work, with negative scientific value, and sees venue-specific automated LLM review stages as the only viable fix—he's considering quitting reviewing altogether.
