ML peer review needs a credit system, not just polite suggestions

A new position paper proposes a credit system, dubbed "OpenReview Points," to incentivize better peer reviews in machine learning. The authors argue that current methods for managing submission volume and encouraging quality reviews are insufficient. Their proposed system would allow ML practitioners to earn points through good review practices and spend them on conference perks or additional review resources. AI

IMPACT Proposes a novel incentive structure that could improve the quality and efficiency of machine learning research dissemination.
