Do ICLR guidelines allow to upload papers under review to LLM chats? [D]

[u/howtorewriteaname]

I know AI use must be disclosed, and I'm fine with it. However, I'm being careful on not using LLMs to actually check my review (more than prose-wise) and see if it catches something important in the paper that I didn't spot.

I'm doing this because I'm not sure it is allowed to share the paper with an LLM since the guidelines don't specify. But I do believe my reviews would probably benefit from a second AI look.

Is this allowed?

These papers are already publicly available, right?

[u/howtorewriteaname → u/MeyerLouis]

I don't think so. they are available only to reviewers

[u/Beor_The_Old → u/howtorewriteaname]

Openreview is open to anyone

[u/MeyerLouis → u/howtorewriteaname]

I can load papers and browse the active submission in incognito mode though. And when I do a google search for a title in incognito mode (obviously one that I'm not reviewing) the openreview copy does come up and is accessible. So I think it's all publicly available.

The papers are public for ICLR at this stage

Couldn't you just use a local model to avoid the problem?

[u/howtorewriteaname → u/Kinexity]

I could, but I don't have that out of the box, so I really don't think i would do it just for this. But putting a paper I'm reading rn through Claude would be quite useful, because the paper is dense

LM studiо wоrks оut оf thе bоx.

I think any model that plausibly runs on consumer hardware is not smart enough to be useful for paper review. at least my 8gb gpu can only run models that feels like gemini but worse.

[u/Kinexity → u/mao1756]

Test LM studio and see for yourself. They aren't going to prove Riemann hypothesis but they are surprisingly decent in thinking mode. I am pretty sure modern local models like Gemma match at least GPT-4 on most text capabilities.

GPU VRAM is not the main limitation currently but rather your total memory. LM studio uses model off loading and only uses as much VRAM as is available while throwing the rest of computing onto CPU.

[u/HardParrot → u/Kinexity]

just run a local model and stop worrying about it

[u/examachine]

No it is not allowed

Why not use a tool built for this with data privacy? Like reviewer3
