AC comment and our reply disappeared on OpenReview [D]
A concerning issue has emerged on OpenReview: several users report that an AC's initial comment and the author's subsequent reply have vanished.

We've encountered similar discussions around data management challenges, as explored in our article, "A Day in the Life of a Data Scientist in 2026."
