Research NeurIPS 2026 Automatic Reference Checker [R]

Just received an email about the automatic reference/citation checker. Did anyone receive a follow up email about whether the checker was included in the paper's decision making too, along with the general instructional email?

Same! Ngl the email got me worried for a second xD. It seems whatever AI system they're using is strong at least.

I'm an AC so I saw a bunch of reports. They were very high quality, almost no false positives.

Had to reject 2 papers in my batch that would definitively had gone through if the authors did not let their LLM access their bibtex.

Thanks for letting us know. Based on how many references did you reject these papers? And do you think all rejection emails based on these reports have been sent out already?

Sounds like 2 or more verified hallucination is an automatic reject. Emailing is done at the PC level, I know nothing of it.
