Scared but safe.

@cocktailfreedom said in Gearing Up for AAAI 2026: What You Need to Know to Win the Game: Update: AAAI 2026 Deadline Confirmed & Earlier Than Expected! As predicted, the submission deadline for AAAI 2026 has been officially announced, and it's significantly earlier! Mark your calendars: Abstract Deadline: June 30, 2025, 11:59 PM UTC-12 Full Paper Deadline: July 7, 2025, 11:59 PM UTC-12 Supplementary Material and Code: July 10, 2025, 11:59 PM UTC-12 Notification of Phase 1 Rejections: September 8, 2025 Author Feedback Window: September 28-30, 2025 Final Acceptance/Rejection Notification: November 3, 2025 Quick Tips Recap: Continue using OpenReview (no third-party links or PDFs). Storytelling is key: craft a clear, compelling narrative around your results. Double-check your submission for consistency, clarity, and no "hard bugs." Markdown tools (like HackMD) remain highly recommended for collaborative writing. Time to ramp up! If you're targeting AAAI 2026, your research ideas should already be shaping up. Let's start crafting those winning stories! Good luck, everyone! AAAI 26 has announced a extension of the submission ddl from June 30 to July 25! It is a big-step postpone!

This kind of silence is frustrating. We might need to reach out to the committee through channels other than email.

EMNLP submissions could skyrocket past 10,000 this year. The speed of this growth is astonishing, reflecting just how rapidly the field is expanding. These top-tier conferences attract the best authors and have the privilege to have the most capable reviewers. Hopefully, this won’t discourage authors.

Well recognized! FINALLY!

@Sylvia got a similar experience from my COLING 2025 submission. A competitive track that I submitted my work to ... Meta review said literally "ACCEPT", yet still rejected as the final decision

This year, the effective number of submissions of IJCNN is around 5,000+. “All Neural Network roads lead to Rome” — this year’s IJCNN slogan is really clever. From the early stages of submission, the PC (Program Committee) had already been motivating ACs, anticipating that the IJCNN acceptance rate would align with that of top conferences. For those whose supervisors don’t reimburse for “CCF-C” (a conference ranking system widely adopted in China) conferences, you might have some questions about the registration fee. From what I know, last year one registration ($915) could cover two papers (provided the same author is registering), and additional charges only started from the third paper.

@root I am not sure how much "push" this communication email to reviewers will do ...

The ICBINB workshop webpage had a section about this - "AI-Generated Papers" in the reviewer guidelines https://sites.google.com/view/icbinb-2025/reviewer-guidelines [image: 1742515641656-screenshot-2025-03-21-at-01.07.09.png]
