Can conference review infrastructure keep up with the increasing volume of NON-SLOP research due to agentic tools? [D]
Excerpt
AI tools have given us a lot of slop research, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about real productivity acceleration due to AI tools (E.g. iterating ideas that would've taken multiple days of tedious coding gets done in a few hours, quick refactoring of latex documents, etc.). Furthermore, I'm sure most of you have heard about AI proving/disproving various mathematical conjectures, and there's no reason that that won't carry over to ML theory research. So setting aside AI-generated sl
