Christian Muise @cjmuise.bsky.social · 21/08/2025If it's perceived as a survey paper (especially if it includes LLMs), then it may be headed for additional scrutiny.

Christian Muise @cjmuise.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Worth rethinking that for future years. If a student's paper is rejected, we'll submit a revised version elsewhere. We typically can't afford (time and $$) to send students to multiple conferences in a year, so the advice /has/ to be skipping the DC. I suspect I'm not alone in this as a supervisor. 110
