Dear multiscale scholars,
After listening to your feedback, we have decided to extend the deadline to Apr
27 14!
The good thing it's the Irreproducible Results Track, so the less experiments you run, the greater is the acceptance chance! Submit
here.
Not all experiments go
as planned—some go spectacularly off the rails. The Irreproducible
Results Track is a lighthearted yet insightful space to celebrate those
unpredictable, chaotic, and downright bizarre research findings that
refuse to be replicated (no matter how hard you try).
🔬 What we're looking for:
- Experiments that produced exciting results… just once.
- Studies where minor tweaks led to completely different outcomes.
- Theoretical models that worked beautifully—until tested.
- Any research story that makes you laugh, cry, or question the very nature of science.
📌 Submissions should:
✅ Share the experimental setup and what should have happened.
✅ Highlight what actually happened (bonus points for confusion).
✅ Reflect on lessons learned—serious or otherwise.
✅ Embrace the joy (and occasional heartbreak) of scientific discovery.
This
track is about learning from the unexpected, celebrating scientific
curiosity, and having a good laugh at the beautifully chaotic process of
research. Submission format is free: it can be a properly formatted
article, a horrendously formatted MS Word article, a poster, a
video, etc. To clarify, this will not result in a real "ICLR workshop
paper" – but we will allocate one oral presentation slot. But only if
there is a good enough submission. Runner-ups might get an extra poster
slot.
Finally, uniquely in the history
of ML conferences, if you are not satisfied with the review outcome, you
are allowed to challenge the program chair to trial by combat.
💀Deadline: April 14 AoE
