Not sure about how updated it is. But it has options to see scores before/after rebuttal.

6/ Research integrity demands better. The #ICLR community deserves a more rigorous and fair process. If we care about quality, we need to hold conferences accountable for their decisions.

5/ And let’s be clear: it’s not the big tech companies bearing the brunt of this broken system. It’s PhD students and independent researchers who suffer most. Low-quality peer reviews impact their careers, publications, and opportunities, while corporations skate by.

4/ When conference acceptance becomes this arbitrary, it’s not just about individual papers. We’re undermining the entire scientific evaluation system—and that affects the integrity of AI research as a whole.

3/ There are a few key questions that come to mind:
1- Did removing ratings of 4 and 7 distort the review system?
2- Has forcing author reviews led to systematically low-quality evaluations?
3- Could the changes in the review process be impacting overall quality standards?

2/ Here’s the issue: the top ~30% of papers have average ratings starting around 5.6. But since 6 is "borderline accept," this means papers below the "borderline accept" threshold will get accepted. How does this make sense?

If we'd avoided the 'learning' label, we'd still be hearing 'but can it think?' Now we just get 'is it conscious?' Guess we leveled up the existential questions! 😃
