NeurIPS desk-rejected 178 papers for being "AI-generated". The detector flagged the track chairs' own papers at 24-69% [N]
NeurIPS recently desk-rejected 178 position papers, citing AI-generation detected by the proprietary tool, Pangram. An independent analysis reveals a significantly flawed process: the very track chairs administering the rejection would have been flagged by their own system, with scores ranging from 24% to 69%. Pangram initially flagged nearly half of all submissions, requiring adjustments to avoid implausible results. This highlights critical data privacy and fairness concerns, particularly for non-native English speakers. For those affected, resubmission to ICLR or ICML is advised.
ICLR numbered citations possible? [R]
Navigating citation formatting for ICLR submissions can be a critical detail. The instructions specify Author Year format, but a shift to numbered citations (without spaces) risks immediate desk rejection. While community experience on this is valuable, definitive guidance remains scarce. Submitting with a non-compliant format introduces unnecessary risk. For further context on navigating conference deadlines and related considerations, explore our article, "NeurIPS 2026 Author Notifications Close to ICLR Deadline." Prioritize adherence to the provided guidelines to ensure your submission’s review.

Missed AAAI reciprocal reviewer nomination deadline — risk of desk rejection? [D]
Facing potential desk rejection at AAAI due to a missed reciprocal reviewer nomination? Many authors encounter administrative oversights—this situation, where a qualified co-author was available but not initially nominated, is a common concern. While AAAI policy indicates a risk of rejection, workflow chairs often demonstrate flexibility when a readily available, qualified reviewer emerges. Prompt communication and proactive action, such as adding the reviewer to OpenReview and contacting the chairs, significantly improve the chances of a positive outcome.
