ICLR 2027 and other AI conferences cap paper submissions per author

ICLR 2027, to be held in San Francisco, will limit authors to 20 submissions each, with first-time authors capped at one unless paired with an experienced co-author. The conference expects over 62,000 submissions, up from 490 a decade ago. Similar caps have been adopted by the 2027 AISTATS conference in Montreal (12 per author, 3 for newcomers) and the Association for Computational Linguistics' Budapest conference (20 per person, 5 for first-author papers).
