NeurIPS 2026 is recruiting Ethics Reviewers! If you have experience critically evaluating potential risks and harms in machine learning research, and can provide thoughtful feedback on broader impacts, please read our Call for Reviewers (blog.neurips.cc/2026/05/12/n...) and consider volunteering.

An MP has called for Reform UK to expel a councillor over social media posts that included reposting comments describing Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy as "like some corrupt African official". We must call out and reject this horrific racism.

Very sorry to hear. His books on dynamic programming influenced my entire career path.

We just published a blog post on AI-generated papers in the Position Paper Track. The core issue is not whether AI can be useful, but who bears the cost of verifying AI-generated text in peer review. We have desk-rejected around 30% of submissions, with roughly 60% of these w/o an appeal option.

This year, to improve transparency and responsible use of datasets in the NeurIPS 2026 Evaluations and Datasets Track, all dataset submissions are now required to include Responsible AI (RAI) metadata as part of the dataset’s Croissant file.

It was amazing to see how many people chose to cycle to work in London while the tube strike was ongoing.

NeurIPS encourages and benefits from a diversity of papers and ideas, which can be developed in many different ways. This year, Main Track submissions can select a Contribution Type, including General, Theory, Use-Inspired, Concept & Feasibility, and Negative Results.

If you are planning to submit a paper to @neuripsconf.bsky.social and you need to create a new @openreview.bsky.social profile, do it today: OpenReview's profile moderation process is stricter than before, thus it may take longer for new users to have their account activated (up to 2 weeks).

The NeurIPS 2026 submission site opening has been moved to April 15th. Note that all tracks (Main Submission, Evaluations & Datasets, and Position Papers) share the same dates. The final submission deadlines remain unchanged: • Paper Abstracts: May 4th (AOE) • Full Papers: May 6th (AOE)

We have updated the link and clarified the text of our policy, which is consistent with that of ACM and IEEE, as well as other international conferences and NeurIPS in the past. As in previous years, NeurIPS welcomes submissions from all compliant institutions and individuals.

The responsibility for that error is ours as an organization, and we deeply apologize for the alarm and impact this miscommunication had on our community.

This error was due to miscommunication between the NeurIPS Foundation and our legal team; there was never an intention to restrict participation beyond our mandatory compliance obligations.

In preparing the NeurIPS 2026 handbook, we included a link to a US government sanctions tool that covers a significantly broader set of restrictions than those NeurIPS is actually required to follow.

The organizing committee has taken on the responsibility of running the conference this year with the goal of fostering open communication, knowledge sharing, and global scientific discourse. We thank the community for bringing this issue to our attention and working with us through this situation.

We want to reiterate that NeurIPS is a community-driven event, created by and for the community, and strives to be inclusive. The NeurIPS 2026 organizing committee was particularly saddened to learn of this institutional miscommunication.

We want to speak directly to the concern many of you have expressed, and we owe you a clear explanation of what happened, why it happened, and where we stand now. We understand this situation caused genuine alarm and we take that seriously.

We are actively consulting legal counsel to fully understand the legal constraints and we will update the NeurIPS community as soon as we have reliable guidance from our lawyers.

The present concerns are not about science or academic freedom. They are about legal requirements that apply to the NeurIPS Foundation, which is responsible for complying with sanctions.

NeurIPS is aware of the community's concerns regarding the list of sanctions. NeurIPS is an inclusive community focused on free scientific discourse. We deeply value the research that comes from everyone in our community.

Following the success of the EurIPS and NeurIPS-Mexico City pilots in 2025, we are thrilled to announce two official NeurIPS 2026 satellite events for this year! These will be held in Paris, France and Atlanta, USA, respectively, running alongside the main venue in Sydney, Australia.

Today NeurIPS is announcing our official satellite event in Paris. After responding to the call from Ellis following the success of EurIPS in December, we are pleased to reach a new milestone by joining forces with the NeurIPS organizing committee for the 2026 edition.

@neuripsconf.bsky.social call for papers is out: neurips.cc/Conferences/... Key dates: - Abstract submission deadline: 4 May (AOE). - Full paper submission deadline (incl. all supplementary materials): 6 May - Author notification: 24 September

Happy to share a major milestone: after years of development, we are officially launching Version 1.0 of the GeometricKernels library! To top it off, our accompanying paper has just been published in JMLR (MLOSS)! 🎉 github.com/geometric-ke...

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists. Anything more shabby and shameful is difficult to envisage.

The JMLR story and operating model should be widely known in academia as a clear success story for full open access. I have friends in the humanities and pure sciences that have no clue this is even possible

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Why is nobody calling these people what they are: racists And why does this racist still have such an elevated position in the conservative party? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

This is grotesque: the Trump regime wants to give 9 universities, including my alma mater MIT, a leg up on federal funding in exchange for their servitude. I have to hope MIT and the others have the integrity to tell them where to shove it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

My family came here 50 years ago. They've worked, paid taxes, raised families, been good citizens. My many colleagues and friends who were either born elsewhere, or their parents were, the same. It's so offensive to be told you're here on sufferance.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... It seems Jenrick doesn't "only" want to leave the ECHR but also repeal "a whole series of other laws [...] whether it’s the Equalities Act, the Human Rights Act, the Climate Change Act ...". What a despicable person.

.@SadiqKhan responds to Farage’s deportation plan “Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

"Independent advisers for the CDC plan to revisit recommendations for Covid shots as well as vaccines for measles and hepatitis B." This is a potentially momentous set of recommendations. Expect the 'findings' to be fraught with disinformation.

Although rare, chickenpox can lead to severe complications. Infection also means parents and kids have to take time off work and school. Free vaccination on the NHS is fantastic news.

It is a (dire) fact that the number of publicly-trans academics is… tiny (a fact due to structural factors). How many of those academics would even have applied to these JRFs? I really can’t understand this trans-exclusionary policy as anything other than an ugly political statement.
