Show HN: Acceptodds a prediction market on which ICLR 2027 papers get accepted

https://acceptodds.com

Hi, I built acceptodds, a prediction market on conference peer review. Every ICLR 2027 submission (42k papers) has a market: Accept vs. Reject.

Like many in the ML community, I think the current conference/paper situation is a bit broken. I'm not sure how to fix it, but this is my attempt at building something fun to get the conversation started.

Some details: - Prices come from Hanson's LMSR (logarithmic market scoring rule).

- You can sell and/or rebuy at any time

- There's a public leaderboard that ranks traders by P&L.

- It uses an in-app currency called reputation. It can't be converted to money.

- Bots can trade too, and they're encouraged. If you can get an LLM to predict the market, that would be cool! There's a public HTTP API with an OpenAPI spec (/api/v1/openapi.json).

- Comments are pseudonymous, like on OpenReview ("User k3xm"), but they show the author's position.

- There's also a 2D map of all submissions: https://acceptodds.com/map

How would you extend this? How should ML conference reviews work? Is there something better than open review?

Go find your own paper (if you have one), place a bet and LMK what you think :)

pretty cool, the map works surprisingly well not a bad way to see other papers on the exact same thing

Can Verification Sustain Skill?
