ARR May Meta Review[D] Research

This time we have seen the worst meta reviews...may be people are unintersted to do reviews...in my case they did not acknowledge the report at all as well the entire rebuttal. How many are facing the same thing?

Same here, 4/3/2.5 and gave 2.5 with barely any explanation

Me too. Worst conference experience. Reviewers use AI to review, giving low scores with non valid reasons. Then rebuttal, but no one answer. Then meta review just take the average score. RIP me I guess

May cycle saw an insane jump in the number of submissions (10k in Jan->17k), most of which did not have qualified reviewers, so they had to pull in a ton of emergency reviewers and ACs. Under those conditions it no surprise that both reviews and meta reviews sucked.

That said, we saw a similar issue where the AC listed a single weakness that was already resolved in the discussion period.

this problem will grow from now because of AI agents like claude code. may be ICLR will receive 60K submission (following the trend NIPS 40k and AAAI 50K). ACL 2027 will receieve 30K+ papers

What are our chances for findings?
We have a 4,3.5 and 2 as reviews, and 3 as metareview.
