“Have you tried this baseline?” becomes the joke in a paper-review meme
CSProfKGD · x · 2026-07-21
A reviewer asks, “Have you tried this baseline?” and the post answers with a screenshot as the baseline itself — a compact piece of research-community humor about how absurd baselines can get.
It works as a classic “the reviewer asked for a baseline, so here it is” joke: short, inside-baseball, and very shareable for people who live in paper reviews and benchmark comparisons.
