Salon des Refusés

We welcome self-nomination of rejected submissions from all NeurIPS tracks. This dedicated poster session celebrates papers that almost made it through the review process, especially during these times when AI progress is moving at a rapid pace.

About the Salon des Refusés

One of the EurIPS poster sessions will be a dedicated Salon des Refusés featuring papers that almost made it through the NeurIPS review process. Posters will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis following a light review by the EurIPS committee; priority will be given to papers with positive reviews and metareviews.

Attendees of NeurIPS 2016 may recall the original Salon des Refusés, inspired by the 1863 exhibition of works rejected from the Paris Salon. We at EurIPS are happy to bring back this tradition together with the NeurIPS 2025 team.
