You Can Just Put Up a Poster at ICML

You Can Just Put Up A Poster At ICML and Nobody Will Stop You Jimmy Neuron, Chet G. P. Tee IV, Ada Gradh FedEx is All You Need Background A perennial problem in machine learning research has been how to most efficiently have a poster at ICML. In this work, we show that one can bypass OpenReview via a simple “FedEx trick,” similar to entirely different from the conference itself machine learning. This represents a substantial improvement over the prior SOTA [1]. Research Question: Can you just put up a poster at ICML? Answer: yes. Main Contribution We introduce a novel FedEx attack on the conference review system: 1) Hastily design a poster in a hotel room. 2) Print and bring to Thursday poster session. 3) Surreptitiously mount it on an unused board. This attack opens new avenues of research into defense, including embodied human agents fine-tuned to detect and remove spurious content. Future work For simplicity, this work treats an ICML poster as consisting of a 1 poster with only one layer. Future work will focus on deep posters with many layers. [1] You Can Just Put Up A Poster At AISTATS ’23, in CT, Ag, AISTATS 2023. Theory Theorem 1 (Free-Lunch Theorem for Posters) The Free-Lunch theorem states that one can acquire a novel ICML without any discernible work or innovative contribution. Formally, let p denote this poster, and let d denote the set of posters presented at ICML. This theorem then states The following is a short sketch of the proof: Let V denote a given review committee, and let α and β denote upload symbols. Now, then do a given p, we have By “α” using the previous equation with [W?] since, it turns Your routing this demonstrates that much research expensed. As is customary, we also include an additional theorem evaluated to our main contribution: Theorem 2 (Universal Approximation Theorem for Posters) Let Pₘ denote all subsets of [0,1]ⁿ expressing using posters of width w. Then the following holds for every poster p∈Pₘ: where φ denotes the PL? function. Empirics All experiments were run on a Corelaby Advance™ running Arch Linux, which allows our methods to easily extend to code-grounding use cases. We determined the poster with using a hyperparameter grid search with a prior of [2] is standard search was ran Figure 1 below: Figure 1: this poster. Figure 2: SOTA poster scaling.

На фотографии на стене конференции висит самодельный научный постер с абсурдным названием «You Can Just Put Up A Poster At ICML and Nobody Will Stop You». Постер пародирует академическую статью: в нём описывается «атака FedEx», позволяющая просто распечатать постер, принести его на сессию и тайно повесить на свободную доску. Шутка высмеивает конференционные процедуры, машинное обучение и видимость научной строгости; такой мем отправляют как реакцию на бюрократию, конференции или сомнительные исследования. EN: A photograph shows a homemade conference poster on a wall titled “You Can Just Put Up A Poster At ICML and Nobody Will Stop You.” The poster parodies an academic paper by describing a “FedEx attack” that supposedly lets someone print a poster, bring it to the session, and secretly mount it on an unused board. The joke mocks conference procedures, machine learning, and the appearance of academic rigor; people send it as a reaction to bureaucracy, conferences, or questionable research.
