NeurIPS Reviewer Ghosting: How to Handle Ignored Rebuttals
grumpket · reddit · 2026-07-30
Reviewers ghosting during the rebuttal phase has become a persistent issue at top ML conferences. A developer took to Reddit to ask for strategies on nudging reviewers to engage, wondering if posting a direct comment to prompt interaction is advisable.
The author also proposed a controversial take: NeurIPS should penalize ghosting reviewers' own submissions, noting a precedent where scores were withheld for ACs who failed to post meta-reviews on time. The thread highlights ongoing frustrations with the current peer-review culture in AI academia.
