In current #PeerReview system #ICLR2020 negative reviewers write long statements making every attempt to destroy it. Often wrong and claiming to be experts. Positive reviewers write a few sentences like "good contribution, relevant.." Often they don't claim to be experts
Self-evaluation of expertise in #PeerReview #ICLR2020 is bizarre. Clueless people claim to be experts (often of privileged class). Humble people don't want to do that. I have seen as AC, professors who rank themselves in the middle and undergrads rank themselves as experts.
Even most non-controversial tweet brings out #Trolls Goes with being a #woman with opinions on #twitter This dude blocked me from replying because I wrote that traditionally men have been told they are fragile if they express their emotions. Toxic masculinity is linked to this.pic.twitter.com/CiSlP30gDL
There is lack of civility in #AI communities. Prominent "leaders" behave terribly. (I had someone call current times as "revenge of #neuralnets and destroy all other researchers). I have made enemies when I have called out their racist and sexist posts.
One more #troll with no logical abilities attacking me personally for talking about #PeerReview Wasn't just one review: thanks to collaborators, I am on several papers. Saw a general trend. What does this have to do with my number of followers? Thanks @sdathath for your response.pic.twitter.com/CjWM5ONPag
Well, now there is quite good text description of "expertise" at #ICLR2020: published in area a lot/once/read a lot/read once. Don't think that people would blatantly lie
They are not lying, they truly believe they are experts and don't recognize their own blindspots. I see this disproportionately in privileged class. On contrary, women tend to scale down their expertise level. This is well documented
I agree, two of my reviewers don't not understand my field. The answer to the their reviews can be found in some very well-known papers.
On this topic, I have a question. I was recently assigned to review a paper on a topic I didn't feel like I was an expert in. I told the organizers that they should reassign the paper but they refused. What should one do in such cases?
To be more precise. It wasn't that I wasn't an expert on the topic, I felt I only knew what basic grad classes on the topic cover. I felt uncomfortable reviewing a paper with that level of knowledge.
I used to rank myself as not top expert until a senior colleague AC emailed me once pointing out what you describe. After that I have been using expert as my default, only adjusting in rare outlier cases. But still I need someone to open my eyes
