Message from #ECCV2026 Program Chairs: We recognise that missing review warning emails may feel excessive, especially for those of you who consistently complete your reviews on time (thank you).

What are your all time favorite textbooks? Here are a few of mine.

Looking forward to upgrading all my Ubuntu machines to 26.04 LTS this week

Lots of things to follow the upgrade

In case you haven't seen the mails, we are now a little more than two days from the #ECCV2026 review deadline 😉 Please note the deadline is 11 pm CET, April 21st!

That was not on my Bingo card

Whether the work is accepted with a WA seems to be tied to the number of accepted works, which shouldn't be imposed!

It seems that @icmlconf.bsky.social is trending towards bad practices of capping acceptance rates and defining a capacity (a big no no) for these recommendations to hold

WTF?!

If we allow the weak versions of the decisions, and now allow for weak decisions from the ACs, we just keep moving the decision process higher in the stack of abstractions of people that are less connected to the work

The job of the program committee of confs is to make a binary decision

The decision should be based on the technical contributions, correctness and soundness of the work

If the work has no more concerns, accept it!! It is binary not fuzzy

As an AC of #ICML2026, I replied to all AC confidential comments at least for acknowledging their comments because that's how I want an AC to behave rather than keep silence

As an author, I submitted AC confidential comments. There is no response or indication that they read 🫩

👨‍🔬Welcome to ELLIS Unit Jena, Prof. Dr. Alexander Binder !
Professor for Multimodal Machine Learning and Principal Investigator at @scadsai.bsky.social and @unileipzig.bsky.social focuses on one of the most critical challenges in modern AI: making multimodal models more explainable and trustworthy.

ICLR 2026: Identity leakage during the review process
ICML 2026: Two-policy framework for "LLM reviewing"
NeurIPS 2026: Sanction list(s?)

2026 must be a tough year for ML conference organizers...

Quo vadis deep learning?

Today NeurIPS is announcing our official satellite event in Paris.

After responding to the call from Ellis following the success of EurIPS in December, we are pleased to reach a new milestone by joining forces with the NeurIPS organizing committee for the 2026 edition.

#ECCV2026 🇸🇪 received 10,665 submissions going to review.

That is an ECCV record.

+24% vs #ECCV2024 (8,585)
#ECCV2022: 6,773

"Authors should not use negative v-spaces to change the template layout."

The template layout:

before that you had the manual which is very good

TIL that
- "state of the art" is a noun, so we compare to the state of the art
- "state-of-the-art" is an adjective, so we can write about the state-of-the-art model on, say, edge-detection or thresholding or binarization.

The #ECCV2026 paper registration deadline has passed. No new papers may be registered.

The author list is final. No additions allowed; reordering is permitted before submission deadline.

Please do not email us about these matters. The rules are strict, no exceptions.

@arxiv.bsky.social can we get compound last names working on the website
?

Two last names get confused with names in the current setup

We need a way to define what is a first name and a last name

-- with regards all latin people

Since 2 or 3 conference editions I now see authors withdrawing papers _after_ the decisions have been communicated. Several papers of my batch have been rejected and then later withdrawn by the authors. Why?

The #WACV2026 main conference open access proceedings is online: openaccess.thecvf.com/WACV2026

Workshops are coming soon... enjoy Arizona everyone!

We didn't submit to CVPR this year but from folks around me I heard that it was brutal. Lots of rejections of papers I would have thought would have passed.

Hey @cvprconference.bsky.social Do you know when the opt-in for the findings will be available?

I hate the ECCV template so much. Why can't it just die? Nobody prints proceedings into LNCS volumes anymore.

My favorite templates:

1. IEEE/CVPR
2. NeurIPS

Special shoutout to our #CVPR2026 technical chair @yoshitomo-matsubara.net for dealing with the technical logistics behind the review process and interfacing with OpenReview.

This was an especially challenging job this round with the extraordinary wrinkles added by the OpenReview leak.

👍 These are scientific conferences, and scientific results should/must allow us to gain new insights and understanding. If authors want to brag about (I mean, "report") new capabilities, I think a blog post or LinkedIn post might be more appropriate.

Full support on this statement. Many papers achieve state-of-the-art by using a random collection of tricks that are not properly investigated. If that's how performances are increased, at least ablate it thoroughly so that it's science and not alchemy.
