This year's ICML review process was… something. The acknowledgement button felt like a placebo, and reviewer engagement was basically a ghost town, a solid 0/10. Not exactly a goldmine of constructive feedback.

Just realized Ilya Sutskever has won the NeurIPS Test of Time Award three years in a row: 2022 for AlexNet, 2023 for Word2Vec, and 2024 for Seq2Seq 🤯.This is insane! Hats off to him!.

6/ Research integrity demands better. The #ICLR community deserves a more rigorous and fair process. If we care about quality, we need to hold conferences accountable for their decisions.

5/ And let’s be clear: it’s not the big tech companies bearing the brunt of this broken system. It’s PhD students and independent researchers who suffer most. Low-quality peer reviews impact their careers, publications, and opportunities, while corporations skate by.

4/ When conference acceptance becomes this arbitrary, it’s not just about individual papers. We’re undermining the entire scientific evaluation system—and that affects the integrity of AI research as a whole.

3/ There are a few key questions that come to mind:.1- Did removing ratings of 4 and 7 distort the review system?.2- Has forcing author reviews led to systematically low-quality evaluations?.3- Could the changes in the review process be impacting overall quality standards?.

2/ Here’s the issue: the top ~30% of papers have average ratings starting around 5.6. But since 6 is "borderline accept," this means papers below the "borderline accept" threshold will get accepted. How does this make sense?.

1/ Just did a deep dive into #ICLR paper acceptance stats, and something doesn’t quite add up. With the traditional acceptance rate around ~30%, the numbers are telling a strange story. 🧵 @iclr_conf.
