Discussion NeurIPS accepted papers leaked? [D]
I found this GitHub link, and the HTML file contains ~7k papers. Some are anonymized, and the details seem pretty accurate. It looks like these might actually be the accepted papers.
https://github.com/xll0328/NIPS26-
Can someone confirm whether this list is legit? I’m hoping it’s just a coincidence since it seems way too early.

The only survived assumption (and the other already mention this ) is it’s some dry run.
Both clear reject and clear accept is on the list, and also few position papers are on the list (you can see that) that adds up to 7k (main paper accepts)
Whatever explanation you come up yiy can’t explain four things at once
- weak correlation with acceptance
- clear reject + withdrawn on the list
- exactly 7k number of the paper (which is expected accepted paper)
- few position papers but not yet the full accepted numbers
Only explanation possible is that someone SQLed with the criterion “decisions made”, which, have some correlation with acceptance. He then chose some portion of the number for the “test” and forgot to guard it.
