What would a fair benchmark for agent architecture look like? [D]
I am working on an evaluation design and would appreciate criticism before running it. Most coding-agent benchmarks collapse the model and its harness into one score. If a run fails, it is difficult to tell whether the cause was model capability, context assembly, task…

Reviewing 4 papers for AAAI 2027 and none have code, Reject? [D]
I got my batch of four papers for AAAI 2027. All four papers make empirical claims, none include code, data, or anything I can actually check. Just the PDF and the checklist. AAAI-27's own rules say code/data should be provided at submission, and "we'll release it after…

Hyperparameters fine tuning for MARL comparative study [D]
hello everyone. I'm training PPO variants on different multi-agent tasks from the VMAS library (Independent PPO / Graph PPO and such, see HetGPPO by Bettini et al.). I noticed that for every architecture/scenario couple, the optimal hyperparameters sometimes tend to vary…

Is EMNLP not going to Provide a MetaReview [D]
As the title says, we haven't seen any like ACL provided. Very salty about the decision, as AC recommended findings and the reviewers tanked our paper intentionally (we flagged them, and AC acknowledged that). Just want to see if the decision was made based on poor reviewer…

AAAI 2027 Reviewer Bidding and Assignment Integrity [D]
Recently, the AAAI 2027 organizers sent an email regarding collusion occurring during the review process, especially in the 2-cycles category (i.e., an author of Paper A reviews Paper B, while an author of Paper B reviews Paper A). Given the fact that most submissions come from…

BMVC 2026 IJCV recommendation? [D]
Does anyone know how the BMVC to IJCV special issue recommendation works? Is it mainly based on the review scores, or is it a separate decision by the ACs/program chairs (e.g. based on oral/highlight selection, reviewer comments, etc.)? Also, is there any way to know at this…

COLM 2026 registration sold out as an author [D]
Never attended a conference before, so apologies if these are dumb questions. I’m an author of an accepted paper at COLM 2026. One of my coauthors registered during the author-only registration period, so I joined the waitlist on August 10. I later received an email saying:…

Archival vs non archival workshop [R]

When an AI agent says “done” how do you know it actually happened? [P]
i’m testing an early concept called agentuptime. there’s no product or sdk yet. the idea came from something that keeps bothering me with agents: an agent saying “done” doesn’t necessarily mean the thing actually happened. a tool can return success, the trace can look fine, and…

Implementing Watermarking for Language Models [P]
I recently implemented a minimal, educational version of SynthID-Text-style watermarking for language models. I saw anthropic post about how they'll start adding watermarks to their model responses and it made me very curious as to how they'll do it and what do they even mean by…
