Reply to comment by entarko in [D] CVPR Reviews are out by banmeyoucoward

I might be wrong of course, that's my impression from a discussion earlier today. BTW I think it'd be more fair not to know.

Since there is a discussion period, not having access to the initial reviews would only be a waste of time. As a reviewer, you would re-write arguments from your review, which could have simply been read from the initial review.

Well the rating could be hidden... Not that this is the problem, the problem is that the reviews are really entitled and not willing to stand corrected. I've these so many times. And I'd bet this kind of reveiwrs are phd students, not very clever ones.

The "entitlement" of reviewers is, quite often (I would say 50/50), a result of the authors' response. I have reviewed several papers where authors responded to fair comments by dismissing the reviewers and trying to make him feel dumb. That invariably ends up in reviewers not changing / lowering their rating.

Also, PhD students can be good reviewers.

I don't doubt your experience. Mine is totally different. I've never flipped one reviewer even thought I've always been polite and the reviewer clearly and objectively wrong. They just don't care. They have too much power. The AC just goes with the flow. This is not peer review, it's a joke.

This is not the case in ML conferences, according to my experience, it's a CV thing...
