Google opens Deep Review for technical documents
Google opened Deep Review to the public on October 14. Each user gets two free document reviews per week. The service initially accepts PDFs and plain text. It checks arguments and technical claims. The tool builds on a pre-submission assistant tested at four conferences with authors of more than 16,000 manuscripts.

Google reports feedback from authors, not proof that the tool can replace expert review. The pilots were separate from official conference decisions. ICML’s March retrospective describes an author survey, not an independent error rate. Google says it keeps files uploaded to the public service for one year. The company says it does not use them to train or improve its models. The public service keeps files under different terms from the earlier pilots.
Reviewers can check whether the tool’s objections hold up and whether corrected documents contain fewer substantive errors. Organisations still need to decide which documents they may upload.
