A call to raise the bar on conference paper submissions
Three papers for ICLR, five for AAMAS, and a reviewer who wouldn't accept any of them at a workshop. That's a blunt verdict, and it carries a fair challenge. Submitting unfinished work wastes the limited time of volunteers who read for a living. If you are new to this, find a mentor before you hit submit. Explore what readiness looks like before you ask others to explore your draft. Your reputation, and their patience, depend on it.
When AI Slop Floods Top-Tier Conference Reviews
Three ICLR reviews, three papers built on the same core trick: compare two predictors by looking at their error difference, watch a troublesome term cancel, then wrap it in elaborate theory. The prose reads like unfiltered Claude slop. That pattern is too specific for coincidence. Someone is running an autoresearch pipeline, and it is flooding our top conferences. If this is common, peer review is no longer filtering for insight. It is filtering for volume. We should all be paying attention.
