Ethical Challenges Related to the NeurIPS 2024 Best Paper Award (var-integrity-report.github.io)
To AI Research Community: This report is written to convey our serious concerns about the recent recipient of the Best Paper award at NeurIPS 2024, Visual Autoregressive Modeling: Scalable Image Generation via Next-Scale Prediction (VAR) . While we acknowledge that this NeurIPS paper is technically sound, we must emphasize that it involves serious misconduct by the first author (Keyu Tian), which fundamentally undermines the core values of integrity and trust upon which our academic community is built.
