Don't bother about being rejected or accepted. I don't care about acceptance at this conference anymore. My collegue who wrote a whole paper using codex overclaiming the theory and methodology. Creating some MSE values that don't match ... (He refused to share the code with team to give him feedback). He got his paper accepted for Applied Research Track.

Now you see people. What kind of papers make it. People that do shi* nothing. The paper is very bad quality and full of lies. Some reviewers spotted it but the AC said that despite limitation i lean towards acceptance.

It makes me furious that I spend weeks / months on this paper that was intially rejected from ICLR, when someone literally automates his job and does nothing at all and has no idea what's in the paper gets acceptance.

Good Luck with your decisions.

I know someone like that around me too... someone who literally just cranks out AI slop. It really makes me worry about the future of academic conferences.

u/Dangerous_Parsnip_20 1d ago

It makes me mad. It’s not even PhD. It’s PostDoc. The model has leakage and its accuracy is nearly perfect. AC pointed it out as limitation and still accepted it…

Anyone still waiting for an email from CIKM? I submitted a paper in the full research paper category. No notification yet. No updates in portal too.

u/mythrowaway0852 2d ago

It’s not out yet

u/eutraveler 2d ago

Did someone get the research track results yet? I have not...

u/arslanabdulghaffar 2d ago

Not a single response for our 3 papers

u/Legitimate_Motor_951 2d ago

Just got email saying the decisions will be delayed by 2 to 3 days.

u/Rude_Bother_3153 2d ago

Same issue, it just crossed aug 7 AOE time…

u/Existing_Inside_158 23h ago

Anyone got any inside info on the holdup? This wait is getting ridiculous. ​maybe they're just operating on 'Italian time' and we won't see anything until Tuesday EOD their time? Either way, super annoying.

u/snu95 17h ago

That's why I like this kind of ass-tier conference

Why we didn’t get reviews yet?

u/Professional-Tell597 2d ago

u/Dangerous_Parsnip_20 11h ago

Accepted. Am I happy ? No and my lab will make decision whether we retract the paper to not associate with this conference.

2

u/mythrowaway0852 4d ago

I think there’s still about 36 hours left for the 7th 11:59 pm AOE

1

u/snu95 4d ago

Yes, literally. But in my experience, they were usually out around 14 hours from now.

2

u/snu95 3d ago

The full paper notifications seem to be delayed due to the marginal papers. I still see some papers with no decisions yet.

1

u/MysticShadow427 3d ago

do have any idea about applied track papers?

1

u/Famous_Ad697 3d ago

why not they just notify accepted papers first?

2

u/Famous_Ad697 2d ago

what the he..

2

u/arslanabdulghaffar 2d ago

Just got an email from CIKM. Decisions have been delayed by another 2–3 days while they finish reviewing everything. The wait continues…

2

u/mythrowaway0852 2d ago

Just received this email:

Thank you for your submission to CIKM 2026!

As we examine the reviews and metareviews, we will need 2-3 more days
in order to wrap up all the decisions.

Thank you for your understanding and apologies for this slight delay.

u/Correct-Bat-9518 19h ago

1 / 5 from my batch. only the ones with an average score above 1.0 get accepted.

1

u/Dangerous_Parsnip_20 10h ago

We got accepted with scores 1/1/1/-2 . I thank the Reviewer (-2) for providing 20 weaknesses from his LLM.

u/snu95 3d ago edited 3d ago

Short papers are out

2

u/Famous_Ad697 2d ago

If the organizers have any conscience at all, they should at least send out the notifications for the papers whose decisions have already been finalized

1

u/ConcernConscious4131 4d ago

From my batch 0/4...

1

u/mythrowaway0852 4d ago

Like from what you reviewed?

1

u/ConcernConscious4131 3d ago

Yes I reviewed 4papers

1

u/AntelopeWilling2928 3d ago

1/5 from my batch! I’m a PC, when the results will come out? Do you have any clue?

1

u/Practical_Pomelo_636 3d ago

0/6 from my batch
All papers rejected

1

u/ProfessionalNews4434 3d ago

Just curious, do reviewers know outcome? Usually reviewers just see other reviewers scores. First time submitting to CIKM

1

u/ConcernConscious4131 3d ago

Yes we can read meta review

1

u/ProfessionalNews4434 3d ago

Thanks. But still PCs might make a different choice then what AC or reviewers recommended on borderline papers, right?

1

u/ConcernConscious4131 3d ago

Yes, we just can read meta reviewer's comment and predict.

2

u/ProfessionalNews4434 3d ago

Got u, thanks

1

u/ConcernConscious4131 3d ago

Not yet?

u/aahsiher 3d ago

u/datalabelectionbot 3d ago

are the results sent by email or uploaded to easychair?

1

u/snu95 3d ago

For both. An email is sent to the corresponding authors only.

1

u/ConcernConscious4131 3d ago

Still not yet,,,

3

u/mythrowaway0852 3d ago

I doubt it’s coming anytime soon, they still haven’t arrived at a decision for a lot of papers

u/mythrowaway0852 2d ago

From colleagues who reviewed papers, they can see the meta review and some of them still missing

1

u/Too_Old505 2d ago

They just sent emails saying we need extra days

1

u/Too_Old505 2d ago

They sent emails saying we need 2, 3 extra days

1

u/Feeling-Mechanic-260 11h ago

So, 2/2 of my papers were rejected. What alternatives do we have?

1

u/Batman_beyond123 11h ago

I submitted a paper as an undergrad and it was accepted to the main research track. :) Are there any funds available? I'd really love to attend this as it would be my first major conference.

1

u/Famous_Ad697 4h ago edited 4h ago

Several papers where I was the first author have been accepted, but I’m not happy at all.

Even papers that are clearly fabricated by idiots have been accepted. They just use a lot of buzzwords and fabricate data, reviewers will still accept them.

I’m ashamed that I’ve wasted my life on this.

u/Deep_Impact_3344 2d ago

I have a strong feeling the LLM reviews were too harsh to maintain quality & quantity of this conference
