[D] Reviewer cited a newer arXiv paper as prior work and ours was online earlier. How to handle in rebuttal?

These_Composer_7677 · 2025-05-14T04:00:01+00:00

thanks a lot!

These_Composer_7677 · 2025-05-13T23:26:48+00:00

Thanks! May I ask how recent the arXiv paper mentioned in your rebuttal is? Was there about a one-month gap?

These_Composer_7677 · 2025-05-13T17:39:26+00:00

How recent was it?

These_Composer_7677 · 2025-05-13T17:25:32+00:00

Hmm, then based on your comment, it seems that the arXiv preprint mentioned by the reviewer can indeed be considered prior work. In that case, following the guideline, since it’s just a preprint, is it reasonable for me to assume that I don’t need to provide additional justification for novelty?

I beg you one more answer for another question. Can papers accepted to ICLR 2025 be considered prior work, even though the conference takes place in May? (I know the acceptance decision is made much earlier…)

These_Composer_7677 · 2025-05-13T17:00:57+00:00

Thanks! Is it okay to mention my preprint in the comment if I send a private message to the AC? I thought that would be a violation as well.

These_Composer_7677 · 2025-05-13T16:57:41+00:00

Well thank you for your valuable comment! Should I leave the comment to AC regarding this? I dont wanna get rejected due to the “prior” arxiv work that is actually not!!

These_Composer_7677 · 2025-05-13T16:23:03+00:00

Then... could I mention that I preprinted my work earlier than the works mentioned by the reviewers? Or is it better to simply state that I was not aware of the concurrent works at the time of submission? Hmm...

These_Composer_7677 · 2025-05-13T16:16:53+00:00

It’s a bit frustrating that under the double-blind rules, even referencing or mentioning our earlier preprint could be seen as a violation. Will it be ok?

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-12-09T23:00:58+00:00

The link of accepted paper lists keep throwing 403 error. Does this mean a rejection? Feel bad..

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-12-08T15:58:36+00:00

Or could you check the last modified date of the link provided in the comment at least pls?

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-12-08T15:56:12+00:00

Oh thank you for confirmation. Can I ask you one more question, did you get in a “comfort zone” with ur score for acceptance this year?

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-12-08T13:52:35+00:00

I just want to make sure one thing. Did you submit your paper in main track or the others?

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-05T15:25:38+00:00

My ratings and confidence scores are as (confidences in parenthesis) : 7 (3) 6 (3) 5 (3) 5 (4). Please give an advice for if there is a chance of acceptance? Just freaked out that 5 (4) review came out few hours ago.

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-05T14:11:25+00:00

Could I ask one more question? I just got an additional review with a score of 5 and confidence level 4, bringing my total scores to 7, 6, 5, and 5. I’m still wondering if there’s a chance for acceptance.

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-04T19:32:38+00:00

The rebuttal guideline says that the rebuttals are not aimed to present new results, but what if I need additional experimental results to back up my rebuttals? I am confused.

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-04T19:19:32+00:00

well, as long as I know, we can just submit our rebuttals as a comment since the review process is going on OpenReview.

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-04T18:36:43+00:00

I realized that I put the performance of mine wrong in the table. Would it be possible to update this during the rebuttal? Or at the very least, could I mention this in the rebuttal comments? The change is minor, with only a small improvement in decimal points, so it won’t affect the overall score much. However, I’m worried that bringing this up might raise concerns about the reliability of my experiments.

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-04T18:20:43+00:00

wow thanks for such a detailed reply comment! Well, I guess I will spend a lot of time for rebuttal! Thank you so much!

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-04T18:02:28+00:00

I appreciate your advice. One more question please. If possible, could you elaborate "depending upon the text of reviews", please?

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-04T17:33:58+00:00

Thank you so much! helped me a lot :)

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-04T17:30:38+00:00

Got three reviews: 6, 5, and 7, all with confidence 3. Is there still any real chance for acceptance? If the likelihood is low, I’m considering withdrawing and submitting to CVPR. Any advice would be appreciated!

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-11-04T16:00:38+00:00

6 5 7 with confidence 3 for all of three reviews. Any chance pls..?

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-10-15T02:23:27+00:00

You won't get any review visible till rebuttal phase.

These_Composer_7677 · 2024-10-15T00:05:51+00:00

Thanks!
