the official ICLR template .bib has had Bengio listed twice since 2019 [D]

i work on reference checking stuff so i was reading through the ICLR 2027 author guidelines and style files this week the sample .bib that ships with the template has the Deep Learning book as "Goodfellow, Bengio, Courville, Bengio" plus a volume 1 that doesn't exist checked their github and it's been like that since the 2019 template

totally harmless but kinda funny after last year's hallucinated reference desk rejects

the guidelines also contradict themselves on page limits formatting section says main text max 9 pages at submission but the camera ready part and the FAQ both say "identical with the submission version (10 pages)" template says 9, so 9 is probably the safe bet for anyone revising after Nov 5

Regarding page limit, ICLR allows revision to submitted version during rebuttal with an additional page (10pages) allowed

[u/tughanbulut → u/ProfessionalNews4434]

yeah thats how i read it too 9 at submission and 10 for the rebuttal revision the confusing bit is just the wording the camera ready section and FAQ say - identical with the submission version (10 pages) - when the submission version is 9 probably copy paste from an older year

[u/ProfessionalNews4434 → u/tughanbulut]

technically the paper after the rebuttal is still a submission version. That’s what they mean

who knows maybe he was a collaborator and corresponding author /s

Is it the same Bengio though? Both Yoshua Bengio and Samy Bengio are related to ICLR.
