NeurIPS AI Assisted Review authors/reviewers? [D]
The NeurIPS AI Assisted Review experience, as shared by authors and reviewers, reveals a complex landscape. Discrepancies in review depth—ranging from detailed feedback to superficial assessments—highlight a need for greater consistency. Concerns around maintaining double-blind conditions and a lack of engagement with author rebuttals also surfaced. A key takeaway: clarity of foundational concepts remains paramount. As explored in "A Mechanistic Explanation of Prompt Injection," understanding underlying principles is vital for effective evaluation, even when leveraging AI assistance.
A question on ICLR and NeurIPS deadlines, and OpenReview [D]
Navigating the complex conference submission landscape can be challenging, particularly with the recent uncertainty surrounding NeurIPS. Many are understandably confused by the sudden silence following initial reviews. Given that the ICLR abstract deadline precedes the NeurIPS results announcement, a critical question arises: can a submission be resubmitted to ICLR without triggering flags on OpenReview? We address this common concern and encourage users to explore the platform’s guidelines for clarity.
neurips 2026: ACs and reviewers have disappeared [D]
NeurIPS 2026 reviewers and Area Chairs have inexplicably vanished, leaving several submitters in a state of uncertainty. Early rebuttal submissions, made via the designated "Rebuttal" button before the official discussion period opened, appear to have triggered no notifications, a problem also experienced by reviewers. Despite attempts to utilize meta-comments, reminders, and direct PC contact, responses remain absent with only one day left in the review cycle. This situation, impacting potential oral and spotlight candidates, highlights a systemic issue.
No replies to rebuttals and comments even by AC [D]
A concerning trend has emerged: many submissions are experiencing a complete lack of response to submitted rebuttals, even from Area Chairs. This situation, where feedback isn't addressed during the designated discussion period, undermines the review process. While frustrating, it’s crucial to acknowledge this systemic issue. Our community is actively documenting these challenges – see, for example, "No rebuttals from Neurips authors [D]" for broader coverage.
