ICLR 2027 Sets Authorship Quotas for Submissions

The ICLR 2027 Author Guidelines state that no author may appear on more than 20 submissions. Authors without a paper previously accepted to a major machine learning conference are limited to one submission. The conference posted the rules on iclr.cc. Posts on X quote the guidelines directly and share screenshots. One analysis of ICLR 2026 data found 101 authors exceeded 20 submissions that year. Academics on the platform noted the second limit may affect students from fields where advisors are not routinely added as co-authors.
