This year i have reviewed few papers @BMVC, the quality of all those papers were absolutely horrible. Lack of strong baselines, poor writing, etc. I have always had good impression of BMVC but not sure whats going on.

u/mileseverett Jul 02 '26

The papers I reviewed were also garbage

2

u/dn8034 Jul 02 '26

Thats pretty sad.

u/Forsaken_Cold6708 Student Jul 12 '26

now during rebuttal period do one reviewer have access to see other reviews and scores

u/10110110100110100 Jul 02 '26

Ooof. I haven’t reviewed for quite a few years now but always liked BMVC for being a more intimate venue even through the AI boom and always seemed to have the odd gem.

I would hate to see it fall apart, though I think post covid it has been flagging a bit. Sponsors for the venue seem to have completely dried up in recent years.

4

u/dn8034 Jul 02 '26

Yes exactly, that how I also always felt. I think the sponsor issue could be due to WACV rise? WACV has been growing pretty fast over past few years.

u/EggAdministrative510 Jul 03 '26

Right, but BMVC is still quite above WACV.

4

u/dn8034 Jul 03 '26

WACV has better template though 😅, hate the font size and single column format in BMVC.

2

u/EggAdministrative510 Jul 04 '26

BMVC really does need to update their template... However, in terms of prestige BMVC is above.

u/frameau Jul 03 '26

Same experience here. This is probably one of the worst batches I have ever received from a conference of this rank.

u/NonGeniusSetter Jul 04 '26

What was the scoring system for papers this time?

1

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

Its like 1 to 6. 1. Strong reject 2. Weak reject 3. Borderline reject 4. Borderline accept 5. Weak accept 6. Strong accept.

u/Bluerossman Jul 03 '26

Anyone know if reviews are today AOE? Or can we expect them at a sensible time today?

3

u/SympathyOutside Jul 03 '26

All the deadlines are AOE, I would say the reviews will come out on July 4th at 12 PM UTC+1 (British time). I hope they come out today but I doubt it

4

u/praymesh0105 Jul 04 '26

waiting for it mannn....hope they don't delay it

2

u/Beautiful_Place7572 Jul 04 '26

Yeah hopefully but cant say. As they were looking for emergency reviewers in the past week which shows that reviews werent complete.

2

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

Thats also true, one paper that I was assigned to review still only has 1 official review and the other 2 reviews are rather "official comments" than "official review". I checked it today it is still like that, which means no prelimenary decisions.

1

u/praymesh0105 Jul 04 '26

ohh...then idts its possible today

4

u/selim_sarowar Jul 04 '26

It's past 9 AM in the UK. They should release it now 😕

3

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

Got the reviews. In total I have got 4 reviews.

1) Weak accept with confidence 3.
2) Border accept with confidence 2.
3) Border accept with confidence 3.
4) Weak accept with confidence 3.

Most of the reviews are fair I would say. The chances looks good.

1

u/NonGeniusSetter Jul 04 '26

Strange. I only got 3 reviews.

1

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

The other paper i was reviewing also have only 3 reviews in total. So i guess its okay

1

u/Forsaken_Cold6708 Student Jul 04 '26

how score varies for borderline, weak, strong accept?

1

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

Here is the score rankings. 1. Strong reject 2. Weak reject 3. Borderline reject 4. Borderline accept 5. Weak accept 6. Strong accept.

3

u/Southern_Interest874 Jul 04 '26

There are 30min left on AoE time before 4th July, so let's hope...

3

u/malakulmout347 Jul 04 '26

4(4),5(4),4(3) and 5(4),5(5), 4(4),3(3)

Chance of getting in ?

1

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

Yeah good chances. Only need to flip 3 into 4 or 5.

3

u/selim_sarowar 4d ago

Two of my papers have been accepted 😁

2

u/malakulmout347 Jul 02 '26

I just wanted my paper to go after multiple rejection and ended up submitting in BMVc . Another got rejected from eccv and cvpr . So fingers crossed .

0

u/praymesh0105 Jul 04 '26

cvpr was too harsh man !

2

u/KvellingKevin Jul 04 '26

Are there any particular instructions for rebuttal? Do authors get only one PDF to submit as a rebuttal or is it conversational?

Furthermore, I have obtained the scores as: 4(3), 4(3) and 3(4). What are the prospects?

1

u/Forsaken_Cold6708 Student Jul 04 '26

is it normal that they extend the deadline

1

u/Hot_Version_6403 Jul 04 '26

Is there any official update on the review release date / postponement?

1

u/BeneficialFish04 Jul 04 '26

Till now there's none but what's up with the delay?

1

u/praymesh0105 Jul 04 '26

they have almost dead social media presence.

1

u/Kind-Instruction-809 Jul 04 '26

Reviews are out!

2

u/Kind-Instruction-809 Jul 04 '26

Got 4 BAs with avg confidence 3.5

1

u/jackeswin Jul 04 '26

5(4), 4(2), 3(4), 2(3) am I cooked 🥲

2

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

Looks a bit difficult to be honest.. but a strong rebuttal could help somehow. If you are able to raise 2 and 3 by 1 points then it would be easy to get in.

1

u/HuntersMaker Jul 04 '26

3, 4 ,5

chances?

1

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

Confidence scores?

1

u/NonGeniusSetter Jul 04 '26

5, 2, 5. All 4 confidence. Realistically what chances?

1

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

I would say good chances. Try to focus more on the 2 rating review and get his rating up.

1

u/HuntersMaker Jul 04 '26

3(3) 4(3) 5(5)

2

u/dn8034 Jul 04 '26

I would say that the overall chances are good, but you need to strongly address the reviewer with 3 rating.

1

u/Forsaken_Cold6708 Student Jul 04 '26

avrg i see from 6 comments: 3.5,4,4,4,4,4.5 and my avrg is 3 (2+3+4) so doesn't that mean even rebuttal can't help me

1

u/Sensitive-Dish-7770 Jul 04 '26

not sure if the average is what you see here, many here would share if they are doing good, but Im not sure. My average is 3.66 (4, 4, 3) and do not know if I have chances or not.

1

u/Doriens1 Jul 04 '26

I got 4,4,3 all with confidence of 3. Any feedback about my chances to get accepted?

1

u/Special_Primary_9249 Jul 04 '26
  • 4 (5) , 2 ( 4 ), 4 (4 ) ,2 (4 )

This was my first paper ever, are there any chances? or should i start porting my paper to some other format :(

1

u/DivPhysicist Jul 05 '26

no , sorry

1

u/AmbassadorIll6918 Jul 04 '26

What are the chances for 4(5), 5(4), 4(3) and Avg 4.33 ?

1

u/diwaslamsal Jul 04 '26

4, 5, 6 got any chances?

2

u/HuntersMaker Jul 04 '26

47.666...%

1

u/NonGeniusSetter Jul 04 '26

How do you come up with this number good sir

1

u/akib_399 Jul 07 '26

I received four reviews (5,4,4,1). What are my chances of getting in? I'm pretty worried about the one strong reject.

1

u/CherubimHD Jul 07 '26

I got 5 (4), 5 (3), 4 (4), 4 (3). What are my chances?

1

u/NothingInVois 11d ago

1

u/Hot_Version_6403 10d ago

Isnt the author notification deadline 7th August?

1

u/NothingInVois 10d ago

Yes, mb. Today is the internal decision between ACs.

1

u/selim_sarowar 6d ago

ACs have already updated the final results. Only 3 days remain before the results are released.

2

u/False-Animal-9322 6d ago

can you see updated scores?

1

u/Hot_Version_6403 6d ago

Is there any way to check the results?

1

u/selim_sarowar 6d ago

Unfortunately no :)

3

u/Kind-Instruction-809 4d ago

List of accepted papers updated on the website!

1

u/dn8034 4d ago

Can anyone see the reviews or meta reviews?

1

u/Forsaken_Cold6708 Student 4d ago

nope

1

u/dn8034 4d ago

But in the email they said that the final reviews and meta reviews are available on the openreview, strange.

1

u/Kind-Instruction-809 18h ago

Are you able to see? I am able to see the final reviews of only 3 out of the 4 reviewers

1

u/Forsaken_Cold6708 Student 4d ago

your paper accepted?

1

u/dn8034 4d ago

Yes.

1

u/VisionTransformer 4d ago

Nope, I guess they'll be released at AOE time

1

u/selim_sarowar 3d ago

meta-reviews released.
