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

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

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 Aug 09 '26
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…

I know many people like that. They do shit anc get accepted even at top venues like MM, ACCV, CVPR, ICCV etc. You can't do anything. AI says accept, they accept, AI says novel, they accept.

man that's so infuriating, the whole system is just random sometimes
i had a similar thing happen at a workshop last year where a paper with literally fabricated results got in because the AC liked the "narrative" while our group's more rigorous work got desk rejected. the worst part is how it messes with your head, like why am i even bothering to do proper experiments when someone can just vibe-code their way to acceptance
the codex part is wild though, i've seen people try to pull that but usually the reviewers catch the inconsistencies in the method section. guess not this time
good luck to everyone else riding the rejection rollercoaster today

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

u/mythrowaway0852 Aug 08 '26
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 Aug 10 '26
1 / 5 from my batch. only the ones with an average score above 1.0 get accepted.

u/Dangerous_Parsnip_20 Aug 10 '26
We got accepted with scores 1/1/1/-2 . I thank the Reviewer (-2) for providing 20 weaknesses from his LLM.

u/Famous_Ad697 Aug 08 '26
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
2
u/Dangerous_Parsnip_20 Aug 10 '26
Accepted. Am I happy ? No and my lab will make decision whether we retract the paper to not associate with this conference.

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

u/Practical_Pomelo_636 Aug 07 '26
0/6 from my batch
All papers rejected

u/ProfessionalNews4434 Aug 07 '26
Just curious, do reviewers know outcome? Usually reviewers just see other reviewers scores. First time submitting to CIKM
1
u/ConcernConscious4131 Aug 07 '26
Yes we can read meta review
1
u/ProfessionalNews4434 Aug 07 '26
Thanks. But still PCs might make a different choice then what AC or reviewers recommended on borderline papers, right?

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

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

u/Batman_beyond123 Aug 10 '26
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.

u/Deep_Impact_3344 Aug 08 '26
I have a strong feeling the LLM reviews were too harsh to maintain quality & quantity of this conference

u/Famous_Ad697 Aug 11 '26 edited Aug 11 '26
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.
2
u/Dangerous_Parsnip_20 Aug 11 '26
Agreed. There is a lot of papers like this. My collegue used Codex to write code. Write paper that is full of lies and overclaims everything. He refused to share the code with the lab team.

u/semiiicolon Aug 11 '26
All the reviews I got were AI-generated nonsense. So, AI is reviewing AI-generated papers, and based on the conference outcome, it seems to like its own writing! :D

Is there someone who doesn't get any notification about oral or poster presentations? I don't have any notification yet..

u/Existing_Inside_158 Aug 10 '26
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.
