How papers are selected for Best Paper, Oral, or Highlight presentation at major ML/CV conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, and ICLR? [D](reddit.com)

From what I understand, reviewers usually do not directly vote for these categories or nominate papers themselves. So how does the selection process typically work? Here are specific questions I wonder - Who actually selects the candidates: ACs, SACs, program chairs, award committees, or a separate committee? - Do ACs or committees read the camera-ready version, or is the decision based on the originally submitted/reviewed version? - Is the selection mostly based on reviewer scores, or do factors like novelty, impact, and discussion among ACs play a bigger role? submitted by /u/National-Resident244 [link] [Kommentare]
