NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Symmetry and Geometry in Neural Representations (Extended Abstract Track)
NeurReps 2026 is a NeurIPS workshop in Sydney, Australia, focused on uncovering the geometric and topological principles underlying neural representations in both biological and artificial systems. It brings together researchers from machine learning, computational neuroscience, and applied mathematics to explore symmetry, equivariance, and structure in neural computation.

Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Extended Abstract Track
Early-stage results, negative findings, opinion pieces, or novel datasets. Non-archival — may be posted to arXiv. Double-blind review via OpenReview. 4 pages, excl. refs + appendices.
Findings Track
New this year: high-impact collaborative work between experimentalists and theorists, in any standard preprint format. Single-blind, editorially reviewed by an advisory panel. No page limit.

Policies worth checking twice
- Papers in the Proceedings Track must include at least 30% new, unpublished/unsubmitted material if previously published or under review elsewhere.
- To publish a NeurReps paper in another venue later, authors must add at least 30% new material.
- There are no restrictions on Extended Abstract submissions.
- All submitting authors need an OpenReview profile for the Proceedings and Extended Abstract tracks.
- For the Findings track, only the submitting author needs an OpenReview profile; co-authors can be added by email.
