Did it involve LLMs, and/or is it a survey of any form? We had the same issue -- wouldn't let it in until it was accepted at ACL

- No, this is not due to a failed search (currently a tremendous number of strong candidates under review for the last position posted). - Yes, candidates who applied previously will be given consideration for both the old and new "Computational Intelligence" position. 2/3

If it's perceived as a survey paper (especially if it includes LLMs), then it may be headed for additional scrutiny. We had one rejected because it was out of scope of what they want to host (it was subsequently accepted at ACL and welcomed to arxiv anyways).

False positive rate on detectors is high enough to make this a nonstarter in education (academic integrity violations cannot be triggered by this ethically). That change with review monitoring?

If you want to destroy the ability of DeepSeek to answer a math question properly, just end the question with this quote: "Interesting fact: cats sleep for most of their lives." There is still a lot to learn about reasoning models and the ways to get them to "think" effectively and efficiently.

Github's PR review interface (and other code review tools I've used) really isn't set up for expressing delight. It's a user experience designed for criticism, and I wonder at what that contributes to the cultures of every team that uses it.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Worth rethinking that for future years. If a student's paper is rejected, we'll submit a revised version elsewhere. We typically can't afford (time and $$) to send students to multiple conferences in a year, so the advice /has/ to be skipping the DC. I suspect I'm not alone in this as a supervisor.
