First time ARR users - some questions [D](reddit.com)

We submitted our first paper to ARR, intending to commit to IJCNLP-AACL. Area: Multilingualism and Cross-Lingual NLP Scores: (3,4) (2.5,3) (3,3) - average 2.83 for reviews, 3.33 for confidence 3 for soundness on all, 4 for reproducibility, and 2,3,3 for excitement. The reviewer who gave us 2.5 has a very short review. They only list one weakness in two sentences and give the paper 2.5. They also give 1,2 for the datasets and software while the other reviewers both give 3 or 4 for these. The (3,4) review gave us 3 weaknesses, with two being writing issues. The (3,3) review has a very nice and very thourough review with many weaknesses and strengths. Questions Is the score good for IJCNLP-AACL findings in the Multilingualism and Cross-Lingual NLP area? How will each review be weighted in the meta-review? Will the shorter outlier review be weighted less in this? How much will rebuttals help? Should we expect the reviewers to respond or change their scores because of the rebuttals? Is there a specific format for rebuttals or any tips you have for rebuttals in ARR? submitted by /u/hepiga [link] [Kommentare]
