#PeerReview quality gets worse with each upcoming #AI conference. Our #ICLR2020 reviews has extreme swings (8s and 1s). Reviewers giving low scores are nasty and bitter. Its like they are out on a war and want to destroy competition. Not healthy. What are the alternatives?

I have serious concerns on emotional health of young people submitting to these
#AI conferences. It has huge impact on them. We don't spend enough time thinking about it. I have thought about just posting on@arXiv_Daily and let community decide if this is useful to them.12 replies 27 retweets 255 likesShow this thread -
I ask students and new authors of
#ICLR2020 to not take reviews to heart. If you believe in your work, you have to keep fighting for it. Try to read objectively and decide which comments are constructive. Don't let reviewers determine your self worth. You deserve to be here!7 replies 38 retweets 288 likesShow this thread -
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 experts3 replies 5 retweets 78 likesShow this thread -
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.8 replies 7 retweets 125 likesShow this thread -

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 lie1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
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

Cannot argue here. Just wanted to point out that now text descriptions are way better then before/other conferences, as they are referring to objective facts. Not that now is ok, but that now is better
