评审维度详解

1. Novelty（新颖性）

高新颖性:
- "This paper introduces a fundamentally new perspective on..."
- "To the best of my knowledge, this is the first work to..."
- "The proposed formulation opens up new research directions."

中等新颖性:
- "While the individual components are known, their combination is novel."
- "The paper provides interesting insights into..."
- "The extension to [new setting] is non-trivial."

低新颖性:
- "The approach is similar to [prior work], with the main difference being..."
- "The contribution seems incremental over [citation]."
- "I'm not convinced the technical novelty is sufficient for [venue]."

2. Technical Soundness（技术正确性）

评估问题:

• 方法是否正确？证明是否严谨？
• 假设是否合理？是否明确说明？
• 实验设计是否正确？

常见问题类型:

表达方式:

发现问题:
- "I believe there is an issue in the proof of Theorem 1..."
- "The assumption in Section 3.2 seems too strong because..."
- "The experimental setup may have potential data leakage..."

不确定:
- "I may have missed something, but it seems like..."
- "Could the authors clarify how [X] is handled?"
- "Unless I misunderstand, the derivation in Eq. (5) assumes..."

3. Empirical Evaluation（实验评估）

评估问题:

• Baseline 是否合理且足够？

• 消融实验是否充分？
• 结果是否统计显著？

Baseline 评估标准:

常见表达:

Baseline 问题:
- "The recent work [X] addresses a very similar problem but is not compared."
- "Some baselines are from 2019, and more recent methods should be included."
- "It would be helpful to compare with [specific method] which is SOTA on [dataset]."

消融不足:
- "The ablation study is incomplete. Specifically, the effect of [X] is not studied."
- "It's unclear which component contributes most to the improvement."

统计显著性:
- "Are the improvements statistically significant? Error bars would be helpful."
- "The variance across runs should be reported."

4. Presentation（论文呈现）

评估问题:

• 写作是否清晰流畅？
• 图表是否信息丰富？
• 组织结构是否合理？

常见表达:

正面:
- "The paper is well-written and easy to follow."
- "Figure 2 provides a clear overview of the method."
- "The notation is consistent throughout."

负面:
- "The paper could benefit from better organization."
- "Some parts are hard to follow, particularly Section 3.2."
- "The notation is inconsistent between Sections 2 and 3."

建议:
- "A figure illustrating the pipeline would help readers understand the method."
- "Consider moving [X] to the appendix to make room for [Y]."

5. Significance（重要性）

评估问题:

• 解决的问题是否重要？
• 方法是否有广泛适用性？
• 对领域发展是否有推动作用？

常见表达:

高重要性:
- "This addresses a fundamental problem in..."
- "The results could have significant impact on [application]."
- "I expect this work to inspire follow-up research."

中等重要性:
- "While the problem is somewhat niche, the solution is elegant."
- "The contribution is solid, though the scope is limited."

低重要性:
- "The practical impact seems limited given [constraint]."
- "It's unclear who would benefit from this method."
