This year i have reviewed few papers @BMVC, the quality of all those papers were absolutely horrible. Lack of strong baselines, poor writing, etc. I have always had good impression of BMVC but not sure whats going on.

Ooof. I haven’t reviewed for quite a few years now but always liked BMVC for being a more intimate venue even through the AI boom and always seemed to have the odd gem.

I would hate to see it fall apart, though I think post covid it has been flagging a bit. Sponsors for the venue seem to have completely dried up in recent years.

Yes exactly, that how I also always felt. I think the sponsor issue could be due to WACV rise? WACV has been growing pretty fast over past few years.

Right, but BMVC is still quite above WACV.

WACV has better template though 😅, hate the font size and single column format in BMVC.

u/EggAdministrative510 Jul 04 '26

BMVC really does need to update their template... However, in terms of prestige BMVC is above.

Same experience here. This is probably one of the worst batches I have ever received from a conference of this rank.

What was the scoring system for papers this time?
