Senior PAMI-TC Ombud David Forsyth Calls for Ending Rebuttals at CVPR

If left to him, CVPR would completely eliminate the rebuttal phase and assign only 2 reviewers per paper, creating a much more scalable process. The poster agreed, noting that no AI venue has perfectly nailed peer review at scale, making diverse approaches to reviewing essential.
