Paper Rejections and Awards: Questioning Peer Review Reliability
By
–
b) This paper was effectively rejected three times, and then received a best paper award. Were the rejecting reviewers wrong? Or were the #ICML2024 reviewers? I don't know, most important is that I really like the paper. In either case, don't take paper awards too seriously. 21/n

Career Rejection and Resilience in Academic Research
By
–
There aren't "supposed" to be takeaways here, just sharing my personal experience. Nonetheless:
a) Rejections can sting at all stages of your career. I'm pretty used to it by now. And a single paper doesn't change my career. But I still took this one really hard. 20/n -
Research Award Recognition and Shifting Career Priorities

And two weeks ago, we were lucky to hear that we got a best papers award. Thank you reviewers, committee, track chair @marsdancer
! I was ecstatic, though as both my life and career priorities have shifted, it doesn't feel as significant to me as it once might have. 19/n -

By
–
We got this very kind meta-review, calling it a "model example of a great position paper." I agree that the points are "not especially surprising" to experts, and my deepest wish is that it steers the field (it has had some influence, since it's been out ~2 years now). 18/n

Position Paper Reviewers Show High Agreement Rates Despite Low Acceptance
By
–
And we got *very* positive reviews. I was shocked. I talked to someone else who reviewed some position papers, and they said most reviewers were quite positive. So maybe position paper reviewers were just agreeable? But acceptance rate was only ~26%, so maybe not. (May 2024) 17/n

ICML2024 Position Paper on Privacy in Machine Learning
By
–
But then the #ICML2024 position paper track was fatefully announced in Jan 2024. This is *exactly* the community we wanted to reach (broad ML). They're specifically asking for position papers. They even had privacy in ML in their CfP! After revising, submitted again. 16/n

Research Paper Identifies AI Problems Without Complete Solutions
By
–
Back to the paper: I finally brought myself to read the reviews. They were mostly aligned: we identify real, valid, problems, but we don't solve them. Agreed. That wasn't our intent. We're laying out multiple research programs, not something we can wrap up in one paper. 13/n
