Is this repo no longer being maintained?

[skywalker023]

Hi,
It seems this repository hasn’t been updated in over two months. Is it no longer being maintained?
I like this site and I would love to see it continue. It would be great if we have someone who can actively merge the pull requests.
Thank you!

@rstojnic @abhshkdz @andrewkuanop
Tagging people who seem to have the access to merge!

For those who are wondering if you should DIY, this repo seems to require some manual effort for the conference update (see conferences.yml and the previous PRs such as #704).

@rstojnic @abhshkdz @andrewkuanop
Tagging once again in case you missed it :)

[abhshkdz]

Sorry about this. Sad to see the state of affairs here :(

I'm no longer at Meta (and neither is @rstojnic I believe?), and don't have merge permissions and/or the bandwidth to maintain this unfortunately.

Bandwidth was the reason I'd handed over ownership to paperswithcode in the first place. I'll try pinging some folks there..

Thanks for open the issue @skywalker023 and thanks for the effort @abhshkdz!

I hope you guys manage to keep this repo working, it was my go to place to check the conferences! :)

Hey, I am maintaining a fork of this repo, and hacked a little Python script that uses LLMs through the OpenAI API to keep the YAML files up-to-date semi-automatically. https://github.com/blockchain-deadlines/blockchain-deadlines.github.io/blob/main/chatgpt-updater.py Maybe it can make life a little easier for whoever decides to take over maintenance of this repo. Thanks for building this repo in the first place! :)

pls @paperswithcode keep this updated!!! 🙏🙏🙏
this is an essential utility as a grad student 😭

Any update on this? Is there a mirror that's more up to date?

No afiliation with this, but one of my top search results was:

https://nunoduarte.github.io/deadlines/

Looks reasonable at first glance. I think it might be done by @NunoDuarte

It’s disheartening to see this project not being actively maintained. While other deadline lists exist, none have matched the level of community support this one has received. Currently, there are 34 open pull requests with updates and new deadlines waiting to be merged!

If someone with merge permissions could step up and breathe new life into this project, it would make a huge difference. I understand this involves some effort, but I believe there are plenty of people in the community willing to help (myself included — and surely others as well).

@joachimneu Is your AI-driven fork publicly available?

[joachimneu]

@rieck Yes, the script is described briefly in the last paragraph of the "Contributing" section in the README.md here. The subject area of the repo I maintain is different, but that shouldn't pose a big hurdle. One change would be needed: I pulled the existing conferences.yaml file apart into separate YAML files like here. The AI updater script updates these files in _data/conferences_raw, and this shell script puts the _raw files back together into one conferences.yaml for the frontend to display. This hack was necessary because the old conferences.yaml doesn't capture when multiple deadlines are associated with one event (eg, multiple submission cycles for one conference, which is common in my subject area), but the model should update all deadlines for one event in one go, rather than feeding it each deadline independently (which can cause trouble, for instance if the number of deadlines changes from one year to the other). This change also makes it easier to review changes venue-by-venue before git commit.

This is the closest to the original AI Deadlines. @gdemelo, I searched your repos but could not find this one. Please create a new one so we can start contributing.

Thanks for hosting!

@joaopedromattos Thanks. You can contribute to the https://github.com/ccfddl/ccf-deadlines repo, from which http://aideadlines.org/ draws new updates periodically.
