How long does it realistically take for you to produce an ICML/NeurIPS/ICLR-level paper? [D]

Hey everyone, Since there are many researchers here who regularly publish at top-tier ML conferences like ICML, NeurIPS, and ICLR, I wanted to ask about realistic paper timelines. In your lab or research setting, how long does it usually take to develop a paper from the initial idea to a complete submission, and then eventually to final acceptance? submitted by /u/Hope999991 [link] [留言]
