ICLR 2027 · simulated reviews
Simulate ICLR reviews of your paper
Upload your paper PDF to reviewpaper.ai and choose ICLR. In a few minutes, three simulated reviewers each write an ICLR-style OpenReview review: a summary, Soundness, Presentation and Contribution scores (1–4), strengths, weaknesses, questions, and a rating on ICLR's 0–10 scale with a confidence level. An area chair writes the meta-review with an Accept (Oral), Accept (Poster) or Reject recommendation, and you get a predicted score range, a ranked fix list and a check of ICLR's author statements. Every point links to the passage in your PDF. The first three reviews are free.

Submitted to ICLR 2027? Reviews arrive Nov 5, author response ends Nov 18, decisions Dec 16.
ICLR hasn't published a 2027 reviewer form yet, so this is the 2026 form. We review ICLR 2027 papers against it until the new one is out, and update this page when it is.
What the ICLR review contains
Each of the three reviewers fills in the modeled ICLR 2026 review form, in the order ICLR reviewers see it, and writes in the venue's style. ICLR doesn't publish its form, so ours is reconstructed from public sources.

The ICLR review form, field by field, with the official score wording
What do ICLR scores mean? Acceptance odds by scoreWhen it helps at ICLR
- Between submission and reviews. ICLR reviews are public on OpenReview and reviewers can change their scores during the discussion. Simulated reviews show the likely objections before the real ones arrive, so the missing ablation is already running when the discussion opens.
- During the discussion. You can revise the PDF while the discussion is open. Re-run the review on the revision to see which concerns still stand. See the ICLR rebuttal guide.
- Reading your scores. What a 6/6/8 or a 4/6/6 has meant historically: the ICLR acceptance odds tool, from public OpenReview decisions.
- Before the next deadline. Drafting for the next ICLR, or reworking a rejected paper? Run the new version against the ICLR form, or the form of the venue you send it to next.
See a sample report first
The sample report is a real run on a published paper, no sign-up needed: three reviewers, the meta-review, the outlook and the fix list, with every point linked to the PDF. It uses the ICLR form, so it is exactly what you get here.
How it works
- Upload the PDF: a draft, the version under review or a rejected paper. The whole file is read, appendices included.
- Pick ICLR and a reviewer model: Standard, Deep or Max.
- Read the reviews a few minutes later. Click any point to jump to its passage, fix what matters, re-run, or ask the paper a question in the chat.
FAQ
Can it predict my ICLR rating?
Each simulated reviewer gives a rating on ICLR's 0–10 scale, and the report gives an expected range with a likely accept, borderline or likely reject call. Treat it as a stress test. For the historical acceptance rate of a score profile you already have, use the ICLR acceptance odds tool.
What scores does a paper need at ICLR?
ICLR 2026 accepted 27.4% of decided submissions. Paper Copilot means: posters ≈ 5.4, orals ≈ 6.4, rejected ≈ 4.0. Rough rule: mean ≥ 5 likely accept, ~4.4–5 borderline. The outlook in every report uses this bar.
How accurate is the predicted ICLR score?
Treat it as a stress test, not a forecast. Real reviewers disagree a lot, and simulated ones can miss what a domain expert would catch or raise issues that aren't real. The value is in the specific criticisms, each linked to a passage, that you can fix before the deadline or answer in the rebuttal.
Is the ICLR review form you use official?
ICLR doesn't publish its review form, so ours is modeled: ICLR's guide is public, but the OpenReview form itself is not. Field order follows the long-standing ICLR form and the 2026 rating labels (0/2/4/6/8/10) come from secondary sources. The ICLR form page shows every field and the sources.
Am I allowed to run my own paper through an AI reviewer before submitting to ICLR?
Venue LLM rules are written for reviewers handling someone else's submission. ICLR's rule for reviewers: ICLR 2026 allows LLMs as general-purpose writing assistance, but reviewers are fully responsible for content and must disclose LLM use in the review form. Reviews were screened with LLM-text detectors. Checking your own unpublished paper is your decision as the author, and nothing is shared with the venue. If you are an assigned reviewer, don't upload a paper you are reviewing. Our LLM policies guide lists every venue's rules with official links.
Who can see my paper? Does it break double-blind review?
Only you. The PDF is stored privately, served only to your signed-in account and never used to train models, so uploading a paper under double-blind review reveals nothing to reviewers, the venue or other users. Delete the paper and its file, reviews and chat are gone. Details in the privacy policy.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT to review my paper?
A general chatbot writes one review in whatever format you prompt for. reviewpaper.ai reads the whole PDF, appendices included, has three reviewer personas fill in ICLR's own form and score scales, adds an area-chair meta-review, a score outlook and a ranked fix list, and links every point to the passage it is about so you can check it in seconds.
My paper is already submitted. Is it still useful?
Yes. Reviews take weeks, so seeing the likely objections now gives you time to run the missing experiment before the author response. When the real reviews arrive, import them for a draft rebuttal. If the paper is rejected, run the revision against the next venue's form.
How much does it cost?
Your first three reviews are free, with no card. After that, Pro is $10 a month for 12 credits, or buy 5 credits for $5. A Standard review (Claude Sonnet 5.5) costs 1 credit; Deep (Claude Opus 5.5) costs 2 and Max (Claude Fable 5.1) 6. See pricing.
