[D] ICML26 new review policies

Research 51 points 23 comments 2 days ago

ICML26 introduced a review type selection, where the author can decide whether LLMs can be used during their paper review, according to these two policies: * **Policy A (Conservative):** Use of LLMs for reviewing is strictly prohibited.   * **Policy B (Permissive):**  * ***Allowed***: Use of LLMs to help understand the paper and related works, and polish reviews. Submissions can be fed to privacy-compliant\* LLMs.  * ***Not allowed***: Ask LLMs about strengths/weaknesses, ask to suggest key points for the review, suggest an outline for the review, or write the full review *\*By “privacy-compliant”, we refer to LLM tools that do not use logged data for training and that place limits on data retention. This includes enterprise/institutional subscriptions to LLM APIs, consumer subscriptions with an explicit opt-out from training, and self-hosted LLMs. (We understand that this is an oversimplification.)* I'm struggling to decide which one to select, any suggestions?
