ICLR 2021 Graph Papers Last Friday submissions to ICLR 2021 became available for reading. There are 3013 submissions, about 210 graph papers (7% of total). About every third paper came from rejection of NeurIPS (which is based on overlap of paper submissions), which surprised me not just on sheer volume, but also because I'm puzzled where the remaining 6000 rejected papers are resubmitted to. I extracted graph papers, which are attached, and categorized them loosely in 4 topics: model, theory, application, and survey. Most of the papers (171) are about new models (general GNNs, graph models for new problems, improvements over existing models). 22 papers are novel applications in physics, chemistry, biology, etc. 13 are theoretical papers, and 4 are surveys/evaluation benchmarks.
