Refining the Review Cycle: NeurIPS 2026 Area Chair Pilot
As NeurIPS continues to grow, we recognize that Area Chairs (ACs) are, in many senses, the most essential people in the NeurIPS program creation process. Your judgment about how to synthesize reviews towards an accept or reject decision largely determines our program. Recognizing the pivotal role that ACs play, we are introducing three synergistic initiatives […]
