@murat_kocaoglu_ More seriously: reciprocal reviewing is making the reviewer pool more dynamic and this places extra burden on ACs. We truly appreciate the hard work you all do! (We're definitely taking notes for future PCs to make things smoother.)

@murat_kocaoglu_ desk rejections/withdrawals + reciprocal reviewing + check your email with subject "[ICML 2026 AC] Changes to assignment restrictions" 😉

Why are reviewers assigned to the papers in my ICML batch being "removed" sporadically? #ICML2026

@michahu8 Email your AC/SAC or program chairs. Authors that submit AI slop are violating peer-review ethics.

i'm reviewing a paper for ICML that clearly came out of a slop cannon and yet i cannot use LMs while reviewing?? what are we even doing here people

@PRooshenas @iclr_conf It doesn’t violate ICML dual policy either. See: icml.cc/Conferences/20…

@iclr_conf But it violates the policy regarding dual submission for ICML

Quick clarification: submitting the abstract of an ICLR 2026 submission to ICML 2026's upcoming abstract deadline does not violate double-blind policies, as long as you withdraw your ICML submission in the event that your ICLR submission is accepted.

@tdietterich @techczech @icmlconf It’s 20% respondents saying “Likely” or “Very likely”. And remember that 40% respondents strongly prefer not to use LLMs at all.

@techczech @icmlconf That is very weird.

Announcing the ICML 2026 policy for LLMs in reviewing! Reviewers and authors both pick either conservative or permissive LLM use, and will be matched accordingly. Importantly: authors on papers who choose conservative must obey the conservative policy as reviewers.
