ICLR 2026 — the 223-paper writing atlas

Start with the distribution, then compare a paper like yours. This atlas measures the pinned final-paper PDFs behind all 223 oral writing studies. It complements—not replaces—their argument, visual-design and evidence analysis. A long appendix or many figures is not a standard to meet, and an oral-only corpus cannot explain what causes acceptance.

What the measured manuscripts look like

Observed extraction results, not a target length or figure quota. The middle 50% is the interval from the 25th to the 75th percentile. Missing boundaries are excluded from that span’s denominator, not replaced by zero. Caption counts are extraction-assisted and can miss nonstandard or image-only labels; inspect each paper’s notes.

Each measured paper has one primary editorial type so the totals sum to 223. Secondary types preserve mixed contributions. These are classifications of the annotated argument, not official ICLR tracks. The table uses the same extraction method and shows medians; the category guides below explain what these artifacts should accomplish.

The inventory is the 2026-09-19 official oral-program snapshot. Each measurement records the source URL and physical page count of the PDF in its existing writing study. No new reading-completion status is inferred from extraction.

Question What is measured What it does not mean
How many figures or tables? Unique printed caption labels, separately for main text and attached appendix; continued captions are deduplicated. Not the number of plotted panels, photographs, curves, diagrams, algorithms or theorem boxes. A captioned prompt box can be a figure.
How long is the paper? Physical pages of the canonical conference PDF. Not the anonymous submission page count or a claim of rule compliance.
How long is a section? Distance from its detected top-level heading to the next, using physical page and vertical position; rounded to 0.01 page-equivalents. Not text-only length, occupied-ink area or an exact word count. Floats, whitespace and omitted subsection boundaries remain within the span.
What fraction is the section? Its estimated span divided by the entire canonical PDF length. Not the share of a permitted submission budget; references and front matter remain in the denominator.
Where does the main text end? The first reference or attached-appendix boundary. Statements before references can be included; this is a layout envelope, not an official main-content-page calculation.
How long is the appendix? From its identified opening, including an explicit appendix contents/overview page where corrected, to the canonical PDF end. Not just prose, proof length or the sum of every linked supplement. Missing boundaries remain unresolved rather than zero.
Which style is most common? Contribution-type membership is editorially coded from all existing full-text annotations; primary types are mutually exclusive and secondary types capture overlap. A universal conference taxonomy or frequency counts of every visual style. The gallery is purpose-selected, not prevalence-ranked.

Extraction uses Poppler word coordinates, caption patterns and top-level headings. Source-bound corrections handle split captions, unusual capitalization, genuine numbering gaps, shared figure/table numbering, and appendix navigation before section A. A diverse 12-paper count audit, plus targeted flagged-caption checks, is retained with the source data. All 223 PDFs were processed; every caption and section boundary has not been independently hand-counted. Even an unflagged record can contain an extraction error. The underlying paper studies’ prior full-text reading is a separate evidence layer.

Separate PDFs remain separately inspectable. In particular, the MoE equal-resource and SANA-Video linked files overlap older manuscript material; adding them would inflate corpus totals. Raw PDFs, full extracted text and inspection screenshots stay in the ignored local cache. The public ledger contains small structural metadata, not redistributed manuscripts.

  1. Choose the contribution type that matches your main claim, not the model acronym.
  2. Use its distribution to understand variation, then draft a claim-to-evidence plan.
  3. Open two or three comparable papers’ section ledgers to inspect different space allocations.
  4. Choose a visual form because it answers a reader’s question—not to match a figure count.
  5. Apply the official rules for the exact submission phase, which take precedence over observed final-paper layouts.

The source data, classification rubric, corrections and extractor are versioned. Future editions should use their own inventory, source URLs and corrections; do not silently blend conference years or carry numerical targets forward.
