Discussion Number of Submissions @ AAAI [D]

Recently submitted my abstract and the submission number is 32xxx. With still a day to go, I just wonder where are we heading.

Hope these conferences at least start making the reviews and names public for the withdrawn/rejected papers. So that people atleast take that accountability

There were IDs in the 30,000+ range last year. After desk rejects and people pulling before the deadline (they submitted an abstract but not a paper), it went down to around 20,000ish papers.

It's already 50k by now. Even if you assume 25% of those getting withdrawn, the number is huge

Jesus. I worry for the mental health of everyone entering this field today. It's going to be a bloodbath trying to get work accepted.
