ICLR GCs just accept all papers with rating above 4 max(before, after rebuttal) and call it a day.

We should withdraw all the submitted papers at this point... This is just unfair.

Lol what a shitshow @iclr_conf I'm sure the new ACs will take the rebuttals into account in a meaningful way when they decide to keep the original scores. What a waste of effort for everyone who spent time on rebuttals, and what a stupid reaction to the leak 🤦

I call @iclr_conf to send an official email to ALL authors & reviewers regarding the leakage incident: - We need transparency in communication. A conference cannot rely on social media; a direct email ensures everyone gets the same facts. - We need clear guidance on the

An LLM-generated paper is in the top 17% of ICLR submissions in terms of average reviewer score, having received two 8's. The paper has tons of BS jargon and hallucinated references. Fortunately, one reviewer actually looked at the paper and gave it a zero. 1/3

Our new paper, LatentBreak: Jailbreaking LLMs through Latent Space Feedback, is now on arXiv. We study how latent-space feedback can produce natural, low-perplexity jailbreaks. Joint work with brilliant colleagues across @sAIferLab @fdtn_ai https://t.co/rvgZaOCAym

Jailbreaks are adversarial attacks designed to bypass the built-in safety mechanisms of large language models. Automated jailbreaks typically optimize an adversarial suffix or adapt long prompt...

Reference hallucinations still increased in July (data wasn't yet available when I posted early August), but have slightly decreased since then. Now that's what I call impact! I also uploaded some code to reproduce, in case this is useful for anyone: https://t.co/SMo9OtzZQH

Are hallucinated references making it to arXiv? Yes, definitely! Since the release of Deep Research in February bogus references are on the rise (coincidence?) I wrote a blog post (link below) on my analysis (which hugely underestimates the true rate of hallucinations...)

I found a paper with this ref: - the title is from: https://t.co/RwKPrt7FcL - the author list is from: https://t.co/K98cXt5S2z - the link is https://t.co/g6z2IItHxG - in the text ref [1] is for: https://t.co/RRmIBhIFqG How did this happen? Seems too weird for a LLM hallucination

Can we compress neural networks while preserving robustness against adversarial attacks? Yes — that’s the goal of Adversarial Pruning (AP) methods. But here’s the catch 👇

NeurIPS has a record-breaking number of 25,000 submissions this year already. It's crazy but not entirely unexpected. Here is the scaling over the years, with a conservative projection. How do we even run a conference and review at this massive scale?

Last week, I shared two #ICLR2025 papers that were recognized by their Award committee. Reflecting on the outcome, I thought it might be interesting to share that both papers were previously rejected by #NeurIPS2024. I found the dramatic difference in reviewer perception of
