Ask HN: ICLR went from 143 submissions to 62,301 submission IDs – what happened?
Used to be in every AI/ML job advert, that they preferred those who had previously published in the top 3.

Ironically now it has become a bit of a meme and I see it less often as one of the "nice to have".

This is wild. I submitted at 11:08am IST, the submission ID was already #55,005. By 11:45am IST it had reached #55,499. a HUGE submission number!!!

Really curious to see what research will look like 5–10 years from now :)

1,500,000 submissions for ICLR.

To save those browsing the google: "International Conference on Learning Representation" so an AI conference.

> ... what happened?

Seriously?

there’s another interesting problem, do authors always understand what they submit?

Some CMU researchers looked into exactly this and proposed a method to tackle it: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~nihars/preprints/greCAPTCHA.pdf
