An r/MachineLearning thread reported an ICLR submission ID of 47,647, prompting a discussion on how much of that is genuine growth versus churn. The top reply estimates 20 to 30% are pending NeurIPS resubmissions, with a follow-up noting that only around 5,000 to 10,000 will withdraw once NeurIPS and AAAI decisions land. Submission IDs are not a headcount, so the real number is lower, but the scale still says something about review capacity at the main venues.
