When a reviewer flags your own prior work as a competitor
It's a strange position to be in: a reviewer flags your own prior work as a competitor, asking you to compare against it. The paper has been corrected and renamed, so the connection isn't obvious at a glance. But looking closer, they are the same. You can't break anonymity to explain, yet the request feels like a trap. This is a frustrating, first-time lesson in how academic review processes can miss the forest for the trees.
Resubmitting After NeurIPS? Prioritize Feedback for ICLR
The rejection sting is real, and the clock is unforgiving. For those resubmitting after NeurIPS, the real question isn't just what to change, but what to ignore. Most of us are being selective, not desperate. We address the criticism that clarifies our contribution, but we're not rewriting the paper to please a reviewer who missed the point. That's the smart play. And for those facing the novelty question, you're not alone.
