PAPER MATCH

Pick the poster you’d rather visit

Ten AI reviewers independently swiped 30 paper pairs each. Your 20 picks then reshape the ranking. Tap a card to choose it; your choices stay on this device.

How the ranking works

All 856 accepted abstracts are searchable. A broad interest screen selected 60 papers for 30 balanced comparisons. Ten separate reviewer agents read the paired abstracts and each made 30 independent choices. Their recorded votes form an Elo-based starting ranking. Your 20 choices train a regularized pairwise preference model on abstract text, with a small direct-choice Elo component. The model scores all papers and picks the top ones in each poster session. This is a navigation aid, not a judgment of paper quality. Check each official poster page for schedule changes.
