CVPR bias allegations: Reddit claims 80% Chinese researchers sabotage reviews
Reddit post exposes alleged coordinated bias in top ML conference review process.
A Reddit user, /u/AppropriatePush6262, alleges coordinated efforts that have favored and compromised the double-blind review process. They acknowledge great talent exists within an unspecified 80% group, but claim non-Chinese researchers have been sabotaged—citing recent leaks of reviewer data from top ML conferences (unnamed but starting with 'i'). The poster states they personally faced discrimination and started a subreddit discussion asking if others witnessed similar issues, calling it a large-scale problem. They seek ways to stop or highlight this to preserve research sanctity.
