ICML 2024 invites submissions for a new position paper track. The goal is to highlight papers that stimulate (productive, civil) discussion on timely topics that need our community’s input.
Submissions to the position paper track will be judged primarily on whether they present a compelling perspective that warrants greater exposure within the machine learning community. Position papers should meet standard ICML expectations for scholarship, including the use of evidence and reasoning to support claims, inclusion of relevant background and context, and the attribution of others' work via appropriate citations.
We want to hear your ideas! Position papers may address any aspect relevant to machine learning, including (but very much not limited to) the following:
• The strengths and limitations of current LLM approaches to intelligent systems
• The role of open-source versus closed-source ML models for research
• Data legality and copyright aspects of model training procedures
• The role of privacy in machine learning training and deployment
• Implications of the shift to foundation models for many machine learning tasks
• Assessing ongoing trends in machine learning scholarship
• Concerns of the AI ethics community or the AI/AGI safety community
• The use of ML technology in social media or other venues that raise concerns about the spread of misinformation
• Research priorities for ML
• How can we improve the beneficial impact of our community’s work
Submission deadline: February 1, 2024

Happy New Year!
We have provided additional guidance about the review criteria what will be employed for ICML Position Papers:
1. Position: The paper clearly states a position on a machine learning topic (research, implementation, deployment, monitoring, etc.). Examples include (but are not limited to) an argument in favor or against a particular research priority, a call to action, a value statement, a statement of concern about ICML community procedures, or a recommendation for changes to how we conduct and evaluate research.
Papers that describe new research without advocating a position are not responsive to this call and should instead be submitted to the main paper track.
2. Support: The paper supports its position with clear reasoning and evidence where appropriate.
3. Significance: The paper demonstrates that the topic is important, in terms of scope, impact, timeliness, risks, benefits, etc.
4. Discussion potential: The topic is likely to inspire constructive, useful discussion within the ICML community. The reviewer need not agree with the stated position.
5. Communication quality: The paper is well organized and clearly written.
6. Context: The paper includes a discussion of (and citations to) literature and events relevant to the stated position.

We look forward to your submissions!
