Niels Rogge asked Claude to check how many ICLR 2027 reviews contain Markdown formatting. Out of all 126,348 reviews:
- 24,649 contain some Markdown
- 21,690 contain bold text
- 10,887 have five or more bold spans
The high share of LLM-style formatting in peer reviews fuels ongoing concerns about reviewers using large language models to write their assessments, and what conference organizers should do about it.
