NeurIPS is an annual machine learning research conference. Recent discussion has centered on logistics for the 2026 edition: an unresolved Sydney registration waitlist, Paris complimentary registrations that were full before the reviewer batch opened, and authors seeking others to present their posters because they cannot fund travel. Other threads cover AI-generated peer reviews, delayed Google Scholar indexing of citations, and accepted work such as TempoPFN.
Firms pay researchers for conference-paper survey dataA user reports emails from companies paying first authors of accepted ICLR, NeurIPS and related 2024-2026 papers $300 per survey, up to two papers, plus $200 referral bonuses. The poster suspects the firms are building a high-quality dataset and offers to split referral rewards.
NeurIPS 2026 attendee sought to present posterA researcher unable to attend the NeurIPS 2026 E-Values Workshop in Paris due to financial constraints is seeking a registered attendee to present their accepted poster, offering a small token of appreciation. The request highlights funding barriers some researchers face.
Researcher says AI-generated reviews are eroding peer reviewA reviewer for AAAI 2027 and ICLR 2027 says roughly half the reviews they saw appear fully AI-generated or AI-edited, and submitted papers show clear signs of AI writing. The reviewer argues the problem needs far more attention than it currently gets.
TempoPFN: synthetic pre-training of linear RNNs for zero-shot forecastingAccepted at NeurIPS 2026, the paper introduces a library of synthetic time-series generators and augmentations to train a DeltaProduct-based linear RNN foundation model; the synthetic data has already been used in Toto-2 and TS-ICL.
Master's grad weighs self-funding a NeurIPS workshop tripA recent master's graduate had a paper accepted to a NeurIPS workshop, but their lab will not fund registration, flights or accommodation. They are considering buying a workshop-only ticket themselves and ask whether attending with just a workshop poster is worthwhile.
Is it worth staying for NeurIPS workshops without registration?A NeurIPS main-track author could not register for workshops because the conference sold out before results were released, and asks whether staying on is worthwhile. Having only attended fully registered conferences before, they are unsure if a main-conference pass offers workshop networking value or whether to leave early.
NeurIPS 2026 Sydney waitlist draws concernA Reddit user reports that NeurIPS 2026 Sydney registration waitlist was supposed to release more tickets in mid-October, but no notice has arrived, and asks whether anyone has secured tickets or been contacted.
Community Discusses How to Write Top-Conference PapersA researcher asks how best to write for NeurIPS, ICLR and ICML audiences and cites Michael J. Black's blog arguing papers should be story-oriented rather than results-oriented, inviting community opinions.
ML PhD Student Asks What Industry Internships Really WantA first-year ML PhD at a top-5 US program with a NeurIPS main-track first-author paper was still rejected by Nvidia, Waymo internships and a Citadel travel grant; working outside hot areas like LLMs and agents, they ask what industry internships actually look for.
Call for Papers: Constrained Learning for Scientific Modelling at NeurIPS Paris Pre-eventA CL4SM session at the ELLIs UnConference, a NeurIPS 2026 pre-event in Paris, calls for 2-page submissions on ML models that respect conservation laws, symmetries and stability; deadline October 30, 2026, non-archival, session December 8.
Researcher says Google Scholar citations lag for monthsAn early-stage researcher found that multiple NeurIPS papers citing their work, published months ago, have not been indexed by Google Scholar, and asks whether such delays are common and how long they usually last.
NeurIPS 2026 Paris complimentary registration already fullA NeurIPS 2026 top reviewer says the Paris venue was already full when the reviewer registration batch opened, suggesting SAC and AC rounds took the spots, raising questions about the allocation order.
LittleBit Achieves Sub-1-Bit LLM CompressionLittleBit (NeurIPS 2025) factorizes weight matrices into low-rank latent factors, binarizes them, and restores magnitude via lightweight learned scales, enabling 1.0 to 0.1 bits per weight while keeping the original inference architecture. The follow-up LittleBit-2 (ICML 2026) adds Joint-ITQ initialization, improving initialization without adding inference overhead.
NeurIPS authors report missing camera-ready optionA Reddit user says NeurIPS requires camera-ready submission by editing the original OpenReview submission, but no such edit option is visible, and asks whether other authors see the same issue.
NeurIPS Workshop Registration Sold Out, Authors Face DilemmaNeurIPS 2025 workshop registration is sold out for the general public. Authors can register via a reserve, but each paper admits at most one author, and those spots are already held by registered co-authors. The only way to attend both the main conference and workshop is to cancel and re-register, which is risky.
NeurIPS 2026 financial assistance form reportedly inaccessibleA user on r/MachineLearning reported being unable to open the NeurIPS 2026 financial assistance form despite the deadline still being in the future, asking whether others are experiencing the same issue.
NeurIPS Area Chairs Await Complimentary PassesSome NeurIPS area chairs have not yet received their customary complimentary passes, and with the conference sold out, they worry about attending.
Parallel-in-Time RNN Training Speeds Up Over 100xA NeurIPS 2026 spotlight paper combines DEER with generalized teacher forcing to speed up training of nonlinear RNNs on chaotic dynamical system time series by over 100x, supporting sequences with T>10^6 and greatly outperforming Mamba and other state space models.
Researcher Asks How to Address Novelty Concerns at Top AI ConferencesA computer vision researcher asks how to address reviewer novelty concerns given the huge volume of papers published at top conferences each year. They seek advice on framing contributions clearly, distinguishing meaningful incremental progress from insufficiently novel work, and understanding what reviewers look for when judging novelty.
NeurIPS Workshop Review Notifications DelayedA submitter reports receiving no NeurIPS workshop review notification by September 30, highlighting the delay; the post drew limited discussion.
NeurIPS Education Track results due soonApplicants are discussing the NeurIPS Education Track review process, saying results will be announced soon, though no official confirmation has been given.
Undergrad with NeurIPS Paper Weighs PhD University ChoiceAn Australian tier-2 undergraduate with a first-author NeurIPS 2026 paper is deciding between staying at his current university for a funded PhD or waiting a year to apply to top 15-25 US or UK programs, aiming for a researcher role at DeepMind or Meta.
Undergrad gets NeurIPS poster acceptance, asks about conferenceA computer science undergraduate shared on Reddit that their personal research was accepted as a poster at NeurIPS, and asked about the atmosphere in Atlanta and whether attendees are overly critical. It reflects student researchers' interest in the social experience at top AI conferences.
Paper Accepted at NeurIPS TAE 2026, Seeking Travel Funding AdviceA working professional whose paper was accepted to the NeurIPS 2026 TAE Workshop is seeking advice on covering airfare, since student-focused funding does not apply and the workshop only supports registration and hotel costs.
