What ICML reviewers will look for
ICML 2026 reviewers summarize the paper without critique, write a substantiated Strengths and Weaknesses assessment covering soundness, presentation, significance and originality (each also scored 1–4, with fair/poor ratings justified), ask 3–5 numbered key questions that say how each answer would change the score, check limitations, and give a 1–6 overall recommendation (3 and 4 sparingly) plus confidence.
- Overall score
- Overall Recommendation, 1–6 (top: “Strong Accept”)

Where the bar sits. ICML 2026 accepted about 26.6% of submissions. No public score statistics; inferred from NeurIPS's identical scale: mean ≥ 4 likely accept, 3.5–4 borderline.
LLM policy for reviewers
ICML 2026 assigns each reviewer Policy A (no LLMs) or Policy B (LLMs may help understand the paper and polish wording, but may not identify strengths/weaknesses or write the review). Violations can get the reviewer's own papers desk-rejected.
