CVPR2012最勇猛的rebuttal
| Editor’s note: the following is an anonymized letter from a Machine Learning researcher who decided to withdraw his submission from CVPR 2012.

Hi Serge,
We decided to withdraw our paper #[ID no.] from CVPR “[Paper Title]” by [Author Name] et al.
We posted it on ArXiv: http://arxiv.org/ [ Paper ID] .
We are withdrawing it for three reasons: 1) the scores are so low, and the reviews so ridiculous, that I don’t know how to begin writing a rebuttal without insulting the reviewers; 2) we prefer to submit the paper to ICML where it might be better received; 3) with all the fuss I made, leaving the paper in would have looked like I might have tried to bully the program committee into giving it special treatment.
Getting papers about feature learning accepted at vision conference has always been a struggle, and I’ve had more than my share of bad reviews over the years. Thankfully, quite a few of my papers were rescued by area chairs.
This time though, the reviewers were particularly clueless, or negatively biased, or both. I was very sure that this paper was going to get good reviews because: 1) it has two simple and generally applicable ideas for segmentation (“purity tree” and “optimal cover”); 2) it uses no hand-crafted features (it’s all learned all the way through. Incredibly, this was seen as a negative point by the reviewers!); 3) it beats all published results on 3 standard datasets for scene parsing; 4) it’s an order of magnitude faster than the competing methods.
）获得了克拉福德奖。此同为瑞典皇家科学院颁奖的，为诺贝尔不喜欢的数学、地球科学、生物科学和天文学颁发的，因为比较穷的关系，每年只发一个领域的（今年发了俩个领域）。陶哲轩和同获得过菲尔茨奖的普林斯顿高等研究院的比利时数学家Jean Bourgain分享了这个奖。奖金，在2011年是600,000美刀，陶哲轩获得的是2012年的奖，Marr Prize貌似没奖金。
