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).

Explainer breaks down how diffusion-based language models are built

A technical walkthrough details how diffusion language models work as an alternative to the dominant autoregressive approach used by most LLMs today. Rather than generating text token-by-token in sequence, diffusion models produce an entire sequence at once and refine it over multiple steps, drawing on techniques like masking, iterative refinement, and post-training used in recent open-source models. The material stems from workshop talks and lectures given at ICLR 2026 and MLSS 2026.
