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

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.

It's a similar situation in my paper, the person who has the fewest comments is the BR person, who complains about two things: one is shared with the others, so I get it, and the other is complete misunderstanding and a very minor one. Yet, everyone else gave BA/A. In fact, A has more points of criticism than BR.

In situations like this, I feel like the reviewer just wants to give a rejection and is looking for an excuse. Maybe they have a submission that they think might be with the same area chair, too? I don't know, maybe Im too jaded.

I agree that if we sway a BA to A or maybe a BR to BA, there is a chance for the paper to get accepted. Ive heard in the past people lowered their score even when there wasn't new negative info in rebuttal. Im hoping that wont be the case. Wishing you the best of luck!
