1. Apple Previews ICLR 2026 Research Lineup in Rio de Janeiro

Apple. Apple posted its ICLR 2026 page ahead of the April 23-27 conference in Rio de Janeiro, where the company is sponsoring and presenting a slate of papers spanning deep learning research. The page is worth bookmarking for practitioners who track Apple’s public research output between WWDC cycles, since ICLR accepts are typically where Apple signals directions for its on-device models and MLX stack.
