ME News Update, April 18 (UTC+8), NeurIPS 2026 conference has recently opened a call for competition track proposals. The organizers especially encourage proposals that address clear scientific questions, have a positive social impact (especially using AI to support vulnerable groups), and focus on large language model and agent system evaluation. All proposals must comply with NeurIPS' Code of Conduct and Ethics Guidelines, be submitted through the OpenReview system, use the updated LaTeX template, and be no more than 8 pages of main content (including figures and tables). Reviews will be conducted in a single-blind manner based on scientific relevance (including ethical considerations), feasibility of evaluation plans, quality and accessibility of data, and the organizers' execution plan and diversity. Accepted competitions will host an in-person workshop during NeurIPS 2026. After the competition, organizers may choose to submit analysis reports to the 2027 NeurIPS evaluation and dataset track (subject to review) or include them in a reputable PMLR journal. Important dates include: proposal submission deadline by May 15, 2026; acceptance notifications by June 15; and the competition workshop scheduled for December 11-12. The official recommendation is to start the competition in June 2026 and conclude by the end of October at the latest. (Source: InFoQ)

Ethical guidelines' upfront requirements are stronger than post-incident reviews; preventing problems at the source is better than remedial measures.

Is single-blind review fair for competition proposals? Could the organizer's background influence the judgment?

The LLM and Agent evaluation tracks are going to be crazy competitive; this year, the number of submissions is expected to explode.

Pay special attention to the social impact aspect; finally, it's no longer just a hype contest, and scientific research is returning to its original purpose.

After the competition ends, analysis reports can still be published; this follow-up mechanism is well-designed.

Page 8 LaTeX restrictions are a bit tight; if I want to write the ethics review section in detail, it might be a challenge to meet the word count.

NeurIPS this time combined vulnerable groups and AI in the competition, which is quite heartfelt. Looking forward to seeing truly implemented projects.
