NeurIPS meta-review-before-rebuttal process gets challenged as anchoring decisions too early
xwang_lk · x · 2026-07-24
The post questions why NeurIPS requires initial meta reviews before rebuttals. The author argues the sequence can anchor both ACs and reviewers too early, while authors may be judged before rebuttals are considered. If the final decision is made after rebuttal and discussion, the post asks why a preliminary meta review is needed at all.
