How to choose
Never dual-submit. Prefer ICLR for representation/generative work; NeurIPS for broader ML and checklist workflow.
Draft in the matching layout here, then re-check that year’s Author Guide / CFP.

ICLR vs NeurIPS · how to choose and format differences
Both are flagship DL/ML venues. Pick by fit; both are double-blind, but page rules and required extras differ.
| Facet | ICLR | NeurIPS |
|---|---|---|
| Body pages (typical) | ~9–10 pages (year-dependent) | 9 pages incl. figures/tables |
| Outside the body cap | Refs; ethics/repro often outside | Refs, checklist, optional appendix |
| Portal | OpenReview (open discussion) | OpenReview (NeurIPS) |
| Extra materials | Ethics/repro statements (by year) | Required Paper Checklist |
| Community fit | Representation / generative / scale | Broader ML / systems / theory |
