furongh · x · 2026-07-27
With the NeurIPS rebuttal deadline around the corner, the author shares practical tips for crafting a strong response, especially for first-time submitters:
- Set the tone early: Start by echoing the reviewer’s positive feedback and subtly reminding them of your paper's strengths (e.g., novel method, concrete experiments).
- State the core message: Be clear, calm, and confident upfront. A good example: "The concerns raised are mostly due to misunderstandings. We have addressed all concerns below."
- Formatting matters: Leverage Markdown on OpenReview. Number your responses and structure them cleanly so reviewers can easily map your answers to their questions.
