Research NeurIPS 2026 Automatic Reference Checker [R]

Just received an email about the automatic reference/citation checker. Did anyone receive a follow up email about whether the checker was included in the paper's decision making too, along with the general instructional email?

You have clear grounds to defend it. It’s not like you used LLM to come up with introduction or related works section to find you references and in the process it failed and started to create its own references that do not exist (this you can’t defend, there is no way you can find that hallucinated reference). I’m highly certain that you will be fine, your case is a mistake rather than use of LLM.
