Is anyone esle going to ECCV and wants to get in a groupchat for socials? [D]
Heading to ECCV and seeking connection? This post highlights a common challenge: navigating a large conference when you're not part of a sizable team. One user is actively seeking others to connect with for informal socials and proposes a group chat to facilitate spontaneous gatherings. If you're in a similar situation and looking to expand your network at ECCV, reach out via DM!
*ACL Findings or TMLR? [D]
Navigating the conference publication landscape presents a strategic challenge. With NeurIPS appearing unlikely given current scores, the decision between Transactions on Machine Learning Research (TMLR) and *ACL Findings* warrants careful consideration. While both venues offer visibility, *ACL Findings* likely presents a higher probability of acceptance. Genuinely curious about industry perspectives: would you prioritize *ACL Findings* or TMLR on your publication record? For deeper insights into related AI discovery research, explore our article on "Autonomous Mathematical Discovery in an Open-World Multi-Agent Environment."
At TechBBQ, Europe’s AI conversations kept coming back to: Who’s actually in control?
At TechBBQ, a recurring theme emerged from Europe’s vibrant AI discussions: maintaining human agency. Investors, founders, and operators converged at the Nordic conference to grapple with who truly holds the reins in an increasingly AI-driven landscape. The conversations underscored a critical need to ensure humans remain in control, shaping the trajectory of this transformative technology. For deeper insights into the evolving AI investment landscape, explore our article on "Open-weight AI companies are the Valley’s hottest acquisition targets."
ECCV 2026- MALMO LUND TRAVEL PASS NOT AVAILABLE? [N]
A query has arisen regarding ECCV 2026 travel passes: specifically, the apparent removal of the combined Malmö-Lund option. Users report the discounted pass was visible recently but is now limited to Malmö only, with the purchase deadline approaching on August 28th. Confirming availability is crucial for attendees planning to stay in Lund. For those navigating conference logistics, our recent article on "Travel and stay accommodation for EMNLP" may offer relevant insights into planning and securing arrangements.
NeurIPS 2026 Acceptance Calculator [P]
Navigating NeurIPS submissions can feel daunting. To help demystify the process, we’ve developed a NeurIPS 2026 Acceptance Calculator [P], a small model estimating acceptance probability based on scores and a projected acceptance rate. Explore it here: https://levilingsch.github.io/neurips-acceptance-estimator/. This tool offers a practical way to assess your submission's potential. For researchers looking to bolster their writing skills alongside their technical contributions, our "Best ML papers to pick up writing skills [D]" article provides valuable guidance.
Travel and stay accommodation for EMNLP [D]
Congratulations on your EMNLP 2026 paper acceptance – a significant milestone for a PhD student! Securing travel and accommodation can be a challenge, particularly without departmental funding. Beyond the Diversity & Inclusion subsidies and volunteer opportunities you’ve already identified, explore broader AI conference grant databases like those maintained by AAAI and ACL. The D&I subsidies typically offer partial coverage; amounts vary, so review the EMNLP 2026 guidelines for specifics.
Does registering an abstract, not the full submission yet, count as a double submission? [D]
Navigating conference submission guidelines can be tricky. A common question arises: does registering an abstract—prior to the full paper submission—constitute a double submission? This query, posed by /u/obliviousphoenix2003, highlights a crucial point for researchers. To ensure compliance and avoid potential rejection, always verify the specific rules of the target conference. For example, as detailed in "Catching bugs in scikit-learn," meticulous attention to detail, even in underlying libraries, is essential for robust research.
Is EMNLP not going to Provide a MetaReview [D]
A concerning trend has emerged within the NLP community: the absence of meta-reviews following EMNLP decisions. Unlike ACL, EMNLP has not publicly provided these crucial evaluations, leaving submitters in the dark regarding the rationale behind accept/reject outcomes. One user, facing a situation where an Area Chair’s recommendation for acceptance was overridden by reviewers, is questioning whether low reviewer scores influenced the decision. This uncertainty complicates decisions about resubmission and potential ARR cycles.

Archival vs non archival workshop [R]
Understanding NeurIPS workshop archiving is crucial for maximizing the impact of your work, particularly for graduate school applications. A key distinction exists: NeurIPS workshops, like many others, are typically non-archival. Consequently, publication in a proceeding may carry less weight than a peer-reviewed journal. For context, consider how preprints and subsequent publications are handled—a discussion explored in our article, "How to cite/talk about preprint-subsequent works for a camera-ready version?". Prioritize venues that offer robust archival to strengthen your academic record.
BMVC 2026 IJCV recommendation? [D]
Navigating the BMVC to *IJCV* special issue recommendation process can be complex. Recommendations aren't solely based on review scores; the Area Chairs and Program Chairs consider factors like oral or highlight selection and nuanced reviewer feedback. Currently, there’s no way to proactively determine if a paper has been recommended—authors are notified via a separate communication. For deeper insights into AI research replication, consider our recent piece on Inherent and their AI agent, Faraday, which recently outperformed leading models.
COLM 2026 registration sold out as an author [D]
As a newly accepted author at COLM 2026, securing registration has proven unexpectedly challenging. The author registration period closed, and despite remaining on the waitlist since August 10th, access was lost. Many authors face similar questions regarding conference logistics, as highlighted in our recent article, "AAAI 2027 Reviewer Bidding and Assignment Integrity." Explore potential avenues for late registration or financial assistance; while unlikely, opportunities may arise. We encourage you to monitor the conference website for updates and any announcements regarding additional spots.
AAAI 2027 Reviewer Bidding and Assignment Integrity [D]
Recent concerns regarding reviewer collusion at AAAI 2027, particularly within two-cycle review assignments, highlight a critical challenge in maintaining research integrity. The prevalence of submissions from a single geographic region increases the likelihood of these problematic pairings, potentially enabling unethical behavior.
acl arr august 2026 (desk rejected ) [D]
Experiencing a desk rejection from ACL citing prior review, despite never submitting the work, is understandably frustrating. It suggests a potential issue with reviewer records or a possible mix-up. While a definitive solution is challenging without further investigation, carefully review submission logs and consider contacting the ACL program chairs with detailed documentation of your submission history. This situation highlights the importance of understanding conference archival policies, as discussed in our related article, "Archival vs non archival workshop."
EMNLP 2026 Findings : worth attending in person?[D]
Congratulations on your first AI conference paper acceptance! The EMNLP 2026 Findings track presents valuable, rapidly evolving research—attending in person is highly recommended to maximize engagement with this dynamic work.
