ICLR & NeurIPS · 2021–2026

What are my odds?

Enter the reviews you actually have. Every number here traces back to real decisions: ICLR is fitted on full accept/reject data, NeurIPS 2025 is read off the program chairs' own published histogram, and the years in between are recovered and labelled as such.

Your reviews

Estimate

How this works, and where it breaks

Every review you enter is collapsed into one number on the venue's own rating scale — the effective mean. Your raw mean is the starting point; confidence-weighting, disagreement between reviewers, reviewer count and the rubric dimensions each nudge it by a fraction of a rating point. The probability is then read off that venue-year's curve. The breakdown above shows every nudge.

  • Extra features barely matter. On ICLR, everything beyond the mean rating is worth about +0.004 AUC. They are here because they are slightly better than nothing, not because they are the point.
  • The interval is not a guarantee. It covers sampling uncertainty in the historical curve (and, for recovered years, the transferred selection-sharpness parameter). It does not cover this year differing from last year, area chair discretion, or your paper being unusual.
  • Withdrawals are excluded. The denominator is papers that reached a decision, not all submissions — because you have scores and are not withdrawing. That is why the base rate shown is higher than the acceptance rate the venue publishes.
  • Rating scales are not comparable between years. ICLR 2026 uses {0,2,4,6,8,10} where 2025 used {1,3,5,6,8,10}; NeurIPS collapsed to 1–6 in 2025. Each year has its own model. Pick the right one.
  • Nothing here knows what your paper is about. A calculator that reads scores cannot tell a borderline paper an AC will champion from one they won't.
