38,101 ICLR 2027 Submissions Scraped: 2,209 Papers Share Just 750 Acronym Names
IanArawjo · x · 2026-11-12
A scrape of all 38,101 ICLR 2027 submissions counted the acronyms before the colon and found an LLM-driven naming crisis: TRACE leads with 47 papers, PRISM 42, PACE 22, SCOPE 21, SAGE 17; 750 names are used by 2+ papers, covering 2,209 papers total. Highlights: two different TRACE papers both fix VLM hallucination, four PRISM papers all do time series, and "PACE: Discovering Options via Self-Distillation" contains none of the letters P-A-C-E—names clearly picked before the work. The quoter laments HCI lacks similar community postmortems of peer review.
