[D] ICLR 2024 Paper Reviews (alien.top)

ICLR 2024 paper reviews are visible on OpenReview. 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 ICLR is growing so large these years. We should keep in mind that the work is still valuable no matter what the score is.

Got initial score of 855 but the reviewers just won't reply to the rebuttal... I even asked the AC and they sent a reminder for the reviewers but no one will reply :(

I think this reviewing system really has to change. Some papers get reviewers that are active and actually consider raising the score after looking at the rebuttal, and some get lazy reviewers that never look at the rebuttal and the score remains.

The reviewers know nothing will happen to them and they will again be selected as a reviewer next year, even if they do 'minimal work'. So frustrating :(

Same. I also did many additional experiments, but complete silence from the reviewers. It really sucks and makes me feel a bit helpless. I'm used to reviewer roulette in general, but it feels even worse in this case because I see other submissions where all 4 reviewers are engaged and raised their score after the author response.

I would kind of understand disinterest by reviewers if my submission had very bad scores and would be hopeless anyway, but I got 8855 and was very positive that I could at least increase one of the 5s to a 6 with my response.
