“When scientists ‘rack their brains’ to approach computer science differently At a conference held at the University of Luxembourg in March, around fifty researchers gathered for three days to discuss some thirty concrete examples of ‘undone science’.” David Larousserie reporting on #UndoneCS

The I Can’t Believe It’s Not Better workshop has been accepted at ICLR 2026. This edition focuses on Where Large Language Models Need to Improve, highlighting limitations, negative results, and careful analyses that are often overlooked but critical for real progress. Call for papers coming soon.

Glad to share that our I Can’t Believe It’s Not Better workshop has been accepted at ICLR 2026. This year we focus on creating space to examine where large language models still fall short and why negative results and careful analysis matter. Call for papers coming soon.

Deadline extension: 1 week. Please submit your talk proposals by October 16 (anywhere on Earth). bsky.app/profile/undo...

We follow a post-proceedings model: short talk proposals (1-3 pages) are selected by a programme committee for presentation at the conference. We accept exploratory contributions that would benefit from discussion at the conference prior to their development into full papers. (6/7)

Organised by computer scientists, we aim to attract colleagues from across the field, as well as philosophers and historians of science, social scientists, and other scholars working on computer science. (5/7)

We propose the concept of undone science as a line of inquiry: the notion that areas of research may remain incomplete, overlooked, or unfunded despite being found worthy of exploration by some—and the exploration into the causes of these situations. (2/7)
