Academia has a travel problem.

Attending faraway conferences is ecologically unsustainable, and creates a huge barrier to entry for people who are disabled, have care duties, or lack resources, among others.

One piece of the solution is to create local satellites of major conferences. This idea has been successfully implemented in Paris for #NeurIPS for a few years, and I'm happy to have joined the advising committee of NeurIPS@Paris (Dec 4&5 this year)

1. The goal is to estimate what % (“alpha”) of the *reviews* are significantly modified by AI (i.e., not just minor edits to correct grammatical errors). They discovered out of AI conferences #CoRL, #ICLR, #EMNLP, #NeurIPS, and #NaturePortfolio, *all* but the last exhibit sharp increases in alphas after the launch of ChatGPT (Nov 2022). In particular 10.6% of ICLR 2024 and 16.9% of EMNLP 2024 reviews are substantially modified by AI.

@tante guter Punkt, zumindest das vorvorletzte (#EMNLP ) und das vorletzte (#NeurIPS ) scheinen Conference Paper zu sein, beide wurden anscheinend auch accepted.

Ich bin jetzt kein Experte, aber zumindest gibts bei beiden ein Review, das über Annahmen entscheidet: neurips.cc/Conferences/2023/Re und balhafni.github.io/EMNLP_2022/

Sieht auf den ersten Blick solide aus und schonmal besser als irgendwelche Predatory Journals (auch wenn es „nur“ Konferenzpublikationen sind).
