IJCAI 2026 rebuttal discussion opens

This is less a product story than a process signal: IJCAI’s review cycle is hitting the high-friction rebuttal window, where clarity and tooling matter as much as scores.

• –The thread gives authors a public place to compare notes before rebuttals start, which is useful when the review process is opaque.
• –“70% under review” suggests the pipeline is still very much live, so early speculation about outcomes is premature.
• –The ChairingTool question shows that interface and process design can shape reviewer-author interactions almost as much as policy.
• –For AI researchers, this is a reminder that conference operations are becoming part of the research workflow itself.
