The 4th round of SIGMOD 2027 has *659* submissions. This is 2-3x more than previous years!
I downloaded the abstracts & compared them against last 10yrs of SIGMOD/VLDB papers. I then evaluated them to see how writing changed since ChatGPT dropped in 2022. Many papers are clearly LLM written.

Estimated % of LLM-modified sentences via word frequency method (arxiv.org/abs/2404.01268).
SIGMOD+VLDB abstracts: ~0% (2016–22) → 3% → 8% → 22% → 32% in 2026. SIGMOD'27 submissions: 13%, likely an undercount since people are deliberately avoiding classic LLM words.

look at the bottom right panel: by the Liang et al. measure the SIGMOD 2027 submission abstracts show about 13% LLM-modified sentences, well below the roughly 32% in 2026's published SIGMOD and VLDB papers. en-dash number ranges, though, more than tripled

Lexical Diversity: Share of Distinct Words in 50-word Windows.
This is strongest signal. Measures how varied abstract vocabulary. The distinct words share in each 50-word stretch of text. Higher means less repetition. Uses a fixed 50-word window so longer abstracts don't inflate.

When you do a pushup, you mostly move yourself away from the Earth -- but you move the Earth a little bit too!

I just wrapped up VLDB 2026. My first VLDB was 2016, so this was a soft "10 year anniversary" for me (I only attended 7 of the 10 VLDBs).

It was […]
