AI Conference Deadlines: Your Guide to Calls for Papers (CFP)
15 views||Release time: Oct 14, 2025
Unlike many other scientific fields, top-tier AI conferences are the primary venues for publishing cutting-edge research, often considered even more prestigious than many academic journals. This is due to several key factors:
Incredible Speed: The field of AI moves at a breakneck pace. The fast review and publication cycle of conferences (a few months) allows for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, which is essential for progress. ⚡
High Prestige and Selectivity: Flagship conferences in AI are extremely competitive, with acceptance rates often below 20-25%. A paper accepted at one of these events is a significant mark of achievement.
Industry and Academia Crossover: AI conferences are unique in that they are a major hub for both academic researchers and top industry labs (like Google DeepMind, Meta AI, and OpenAI). This is where the latest academic theories meet real-world applications and where top talent is often recruited.
Examples of Flagship AI Conferences NeurIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems): Arguably the most famous and largest AI conference, focusing on neural networks and machine learning.
ICML (International Conference on Machine Learning): A premier conference covering all aspects of machine learning.
ICLR (International Conference on Learning Representations): A top-tier conference focused on deep learning and representation learning.
CVPR (Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition): The leading conference for computer vision research.
ACL (Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics): The top conference for natural language processing (NLP).
