By ICLR 2021 Program Co-Chairs Ivan Titov (U. Edinburgh / U. Amsterdam), Naila Murray (Facebook AI Research), and Alice Oh (KAIST), and Senior Program Chair Katja Hofmann (Microsoft Research)

We are thrilled to announce the winners of the ICLR 2021 Outstanding Paper Awards. While there are 860 excellent papers in our program, and many of them of exceptional quality, we would like to highlight 8 papers that are especially noteworthy.

Award winners (in alphabetical order):

Congratulations to the authors on this fantastic achievement!

The paper awards were selected as follows:

  • based on paper reviews, we constructed a shortlist of candidate papers;
  • the shortlisted papers were sent to the Outstanding Paper Committee for further review;
  • the experts were asked to assess not only technical quality but also the potential for impact, including bringing in a new perspective, opening up an exciting direction, and making a strong contribution to addressing an important problem;
  • the highest-ranking papers were selected for the awards.

Thank you to the members of the Outstanding Paper Award Committee for their hard work!

The papers will be presented during two Outstanding Paper sessions (May 5, 16.00–17.00 PDT and May 6, 00:00–01:00 PDT).
