Stay tuned for an update!
😊Excited to share that our AI for Science community ai4sciencecommunity.github.io will host a workshop in ICML 2026 @icmlconf.bsky.social with the theme "AI for Science: AI Scientists -- Tools, Co-authors, or Founders?" More information will come soon! Please stay tuned! 🔊
To ensure compliance w peer-review policies, ICML has removed 795 reviews (1% of total) by reviewers who used LLMs when they explicitly agreed to not. Consequently, 497 papers (2% of all submissions) of these (reciprocal) reviewers have been desk rejected
Details in blog post 👇
Yet to be checked:
- dual submissions
- thinly sliced contributions
Thank you to all reviewers for your hard work as we proceed with the review process!
As reviews begin, #ICML2026 is down to 23843 submissions! 528 papers have been withdrawn, desk rejected, or otherwise removed for, e.g.,:
- blank PDFs
- length, formatting, anonymization issues
- malicious prompt injection
- misrepresentation of identity
- claiming fake conflicts
Guidelines on "Generative AI Considerations" have been clarified accordingly here: icml.cc/Conferences/.... If you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the program chairs at program-chairs@icml.cc.
And happy Valentine's Day from ICML! ❤️ 4/4
We told ACs/SACs they shouldn't desk reject papers for this. While *all* prompt injection by authors was forbidden, due to potential ambiguities in the source, we won't be penalizing papers with LLM *detection* prompts (only those that try to affect LLM review decision). 3/4
Yes, ICML watermarked PDF before sent for review, to *detect* LLM reviews. One of many mechanisms to protect scientific integrity of the review process. Think of it like an "attention check" in a survey: easy to bypass, but it still helps flag particularly low quality reviews 2/4
There has been some online discussion of prompt watermarks in ICML submissions.
tl;dr:
- Yes, this is one of the *conference*'s (several) scientific integrity measures
- Yes, it's not infalliable (but it still helps)
- No, your paper won't be desk rejected as a result 1/4

Machine learning is an *international community*. Every community is based on mutual trust and respect. But communities are not robust to betrayals of these principles.
