My thoughts on the changes to the paper submission process for NeurIPS 2020.
The main new changes are:
1. ACs can desk reject papers
2. All authors have to be able to review if asked
3. Resubmissions from other conferences must be marked and a summary of changes since the last submission must be provided
4. Borader societal / ethical impact must be discussed
5. Upon acceptance, all papers must link to an explanatory video and the PDFs for slides and poster
