Desk-rejected position paper Neurips 2026 [D]
Our take
Submitting to prestigious conferences like NeurIPS can be a daunting experience, especially when faced with a desk rejection. Recently, a user shared their disappointment after receiving a rejection email citing formatting violations. They speculated whether their paper's title lacked the strength typically expected of a position paper. This situation raises common concerns among first-time submitters, particularly those who have faced prior rejections due to different criteria, such as the need for empirical evaluation.
Anyone get desk rejected email today? I got and it said
Desk Reject Comments: This submission violates the formatting rules and has been desk rejected.
I thought it was because my paper title was not strong enough to be a position paper.
Have you encountered this? Sorry, first time submitting to this top conference. Actually I submitted to ICML previously (position paper as well) and got rejected due to lack of empirical evaluation.
