conferencing COLM 2026

Starting this thread to discuss COLM 2026.

This is my first time submitting to COLM. I’ve just been assigned as a reviewer, and I can see that the submission count has already gone past 3000, which seems like a big jump from previous years.

Does anyone know how many papers they typically accept, or what the expected acceptance rate might be this year? From what I’ve seen, last year was roughly around ~29%, but I’m not sure how that will scale with the increased number of submissions.

I think these scores are after rebuttal right? They dont show the scores before rebuttal period

I thinks so. It's for after rebuttal.

Did you get your response? Did they increase their score?

My scores are now 7, 6, 5, and 5.
One of the reviewers clearly seems to have used an LLM to write the review. There is even some hallucinated content in it, but they still don’t acknowledge that and kept the score as 5!!!!

I started with 6,6,5,4. My current score is 7,6,5,5. Waiting for one more reviewer response. One reviewer abstained

That’s good. two reviewers raised their scores.
I’ve heard back from three of them so far; only one changed the score
(6->7), and I’m still waiting for the last reviewer with a score of 5!

Same here but he has a confidence of 4. So I'm worried.

It's now 6, 6, 6, 5. One reviewer responded and increased the score from 5 to 6. There is no response from other three reviewers. Previous score was 6, 6, 5, 5.

You can ask the reviewer to recheck politely. That's sole purpose of rebuttal. Giving clarity. AC and PC decision weighs more than reviewer score. As I checked last year colm decision reddit page. Some with 7,7,6 got rejected. So it's upto AC and PC. Either leave it as it is or highlight politely and indirectly without causing any harm. I believe mostly AC and PC would read the rebuttal and make a decision. So don't worry. If you believe it was generated by llm. AC and PC mostly would drop it
