Apparently the NeurIPS chairs decided to reopen the camera-ready submission to ensure "that the proceedings reflect the highest scientific quality.” @neuripsconf.bsky.social, is that true?
So the solution to academic misconduct is to give the authors a chance to cover their tracks?

What is wild to me is the defense, BY THE NEURIPS BOARD, that fabricated citations do not mean "the content of the papers themselves [is] necessarily invalidated"
It does. It very much does. What do you think citing other work is for? What do you think writing a paper is for? What do you *think*?

The good news is that we did not receive any ICLR rejects today. The bad is that we might start writing ICML papers on Monday😱.

NeurIPS reviewers typically review 6+ papers, each with 100 or so citations. The reviewers can't possibly check that every citation is real. But why don't we have an automated way to do this checking (and desk-rejecting if fake citations found) *before* the papers are sent to reviewers?

Accurate and thorough representation of prior and related work is one of the cornerstones of good research.
It is shocking to me that so many published NeurIPS papers, even from top institutions, have fabricated references.

Doing a PhD is - at heart - one long discussion with your mentor. The discussion changes over time - with unexpected turns and ups & downs - but through it all is a pair of people discussing a topic endlessly to make sense of it.

Openreview opened the door to continuous and major revisions that nobody has time to check properly.
I think that we should come back to short one pdf page replies to reviews. It would mean having decisions quicker so that we actually have time to work on papers before resubmitting them.

OpenReview was breached. The names of authors, reviewers, ACs, etc, for all past and current conferences were visible for a time, making nothing anonymous anymore. These data have been released for this year's ICLR, but I fear it's also the case for the past 10 years of conferences.

AI researchers loose privacy. I guess this is karma for what we have done with the data from everyone 😉. ICLR PC need to freeze all open review forum changes right now because the process is tainted for all future edits

This Nature retrospective is quite interesting.
To me, the only solution to the credit assignment problem is obvious: stop believing a single person is responsible for every big discovery. It's an artifact of our monkey brain requiring a face for storage, not the reality of how knowledge progresses.

"stole Rosalind Franklin's work" has become the new orthodoxy. While she was certainly the victim of sexism from Watson, I think her colleague Wilkins was the real villain. Events 1951-53 well covered in Nature in 2023 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
