#KostasThoughts: While consensus among reviewers is appreciated, it is not strictly necessary. As an Area Chair, what matters most is understanding each reviewer’s reasoning and decision-making process. That is why it is imperative that reviewers provide a clear final summary explaining why they recommend accepting or rejecting the paper, which concerns were addressed through the rebuttal and discussion, and which concerns, if any, remain unresolved. Simply putting “my concerns were not resolved” is not being a responsible reviewer.
If you initially misunderstood parts of the paper or made an error in your assessment, that’s okay we all make mistakes. Please put personal ego aside and focus on making the correct decision based on the technical merits of the paper, the rebuttal, and the discussion.
European Conference on Computer Vision #ECCV2026@eccvconfThe #ECCV2026 reviewer discussion period has started! Reviewers should carefully read the authors’ rebuttal, consider the other reviews, and actively participate in the discussion BEFORE finalizing their reviews.
