I don't care much about the CVPR Best Paper Award criteria.

Usually it means nothing, as least much less than Test of Time award. It never mattered before, it will never matter in the future. I will change my mind, when the "Best Paper" will also get test of time award.

OK, it seems I have to change my mind.

@ducha_aiki I agree with the sentiment, but I’m pretty sure ResNet just won test of time, and also won CVPR 2015 best paper award??

@ducha_aiki Seems unlikely (there seems to be a single CVPR paper that won both awards). But anyways, if a paper wins test of time, they will have had impact, so it shouldn’t matter if they released source code originally or not.

@ducha_aiki I stand corrected, there are two such papers.

@ducha_aiki @JonathonLuiten I think it was 2016

@ducha_aiki you are probably asking for non-existent capabilities in humans. They (we) ultimately decide Best Paper vs just a poster vs reject

@ducha_aiki Resnet and “Object Class Recognition by Unsupervised Scale-Invariant Learning”

@ducha_aiki I got the year wrong (from memory) but the vibes right! Was 2016 (as pointed out below)
