AISTATS 2024 paper reviews are supposed to be out today. I thought to create a discussion thread for us to discuss any issue/complain/celebration or anything else.
There is so much noise in the reviews every year. Some good work that the authors are proud of might get a low score because of the noisy system, given that AISTATS is growing large these years. We should keep in mind that the work is still valuable no matter what the score is.
worst reviews ever. Some of them even didn’t read the paper. For example, a reviewer pointed out I have to cite another paper and kindly showed the title of it, which I’ve already included in the paper. And the reviewer gave me reject, with maximum confidence :)
Same things happened to me in NeurIPS/ ICLR : ( And they never showed up during rebuttal
Similar. I said I ran five individual runs and reported the average results. However the reviewer asked me to show how many random seeds I used. It’s also a reject with max confidence :)
one reviewer told us we missed a dot at the end of an equation. reject!
