I have one accepted paper and another one rejected. The review and meta-review quality was really subpar. It felt like most of the responses we got, on both sides of the spectrum, came from underexperinced reviewers. I am all for letting undergrads read, review, and get experience, but I always review the paper by myself first and would never submit theirs as is. This really boggles me because I always thought ECAI is a good conference, but this year I can’t help but feel a little bit embarrassed to even go there.
I have not submitted to other conferences yet. So, I wonder if there is a trend.
