Bullshit is like entropy nowadays it can only increase.

Also I want to thank all ICLR AC this year (I was only reviewer dodged a bullet) before potential grumpiness. It has been a crazy editorial process with some doing the work twice and your work is essential.

Proton is nice but requires a Thunderbird extension. There is a whole suite with even password manager.

And now you can fully enjoy the IP Paris/Hi! Paris Computer Vision Workshop. ippariscvworkshop.github.io

I agree we need to do something. Limiting number of submission per author, and true penalty like multi-year banishment for bad actors/labs/universities seem like a better idea. I you can only submit a few paper and can be banned you will not submit AI slop.

Also putting a coin in the machine would be the last step before we reach gambling as publication selection. We already have the random/noisy decisions we just needed the money to become a loot box community !

Agreed for travel cost. Only rich people do the type of finance that motivates tax Taubin. This is for me closer to french TVA that would hit everyone that submit 2 papers (given accept ratio you always submit 2 papers) but won't even be registered by large teams or bad actors that will submit many.

Don't you think it's going to be even harder for those not working in a rich country (or company 😜). Seems a bit unfair. Also if you can pay for gpt pro you can pay for this...

really annoying.
my student just made this joke:
ICLR= I Can Locate Reviewers 😅

I guess we will see because thats what they decided...

#ICLR Program chairs, Just stop the process already! We can trust the AC to make decision with reviews and responses but we cannot trust anything that happened since the leak.

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.
