NeurIPS 2024 Reviewer Questions PC Guidance: Is an Average Score of 4.5 'Borderline'?
canaesseth · x · 2026-08-06
A NeurIPS 2026 reviewer expressed frustration on X regarding an email guideline from the Program Committee, which asks reviewers to pay special attention to 'borderline papers' with average scores between 3.5 and 4.5. The reviewer questioned this threshold, noting that last year, papers with an average score of 4.0 were typically accepted, and the highest score in their current pool this year is only 4.25.
