What we learned from NeurIPS 2019 data
x4 growth since 2014
21.6% acceptance rate
Takeaways:
1. No free-loader problem: Relatively few papers are submitted where none of the authors invited to participate in the review process accepted the invitation
2. Unclear how to rapidly filter papers prior to full review: Allowing for early desk rejects by ACs is unlikely to have a significant impact on reviewer load without producing inappropriate decisions. Likewise, the eagerness of reviewers to review a particular paper is not a strong signal, either.
3. No clear evidence that review quality as measured by length is lower for NeurIPS: NeurIPS is surprisingly not much different from other conferences of smaller sizes when it comes to review length.
4. Impact of engagement in rebuttal/discussion period: Overall engagement seemed to be higher than in 2018.
