It should be removed. Reviewer forms should focus on the essential content: summary, strength, weaknesses, conclusion.
I usually put a summary of my review, like "interesting idea, lacks comparison to recent competitors", as a reminder for the AC which particular review this was in their stack.
It seems, that we have failed the communication about IMC26. Let's try again.
The competition this year is here:

No prizes, but whole year leaderboard -- similar to KITTY and other academic competitions.
3D people, please retweet and share.
We were pretty mad at the reviewer but they turned out to be reasonable. I understand the frustration that classical methods are often overlooked. Here, it was a genuine oversight. I did not know the E5+1 solver. Including it made the paper stronger.

Thank you. And good luck!
Most multi-view methods use many (all) tokens from few images. So you have to sub-sample images to keep it computationally feasible. The motivation for FastForward is to take few tokens from many images. So you have a lean model that still utilizes many view points.
We did not try that, but I remember seeing such a paper built on top of VGGT. If I remember correctly, it was not exactly a compact scene representation in terms of memory footprint. Definitively interesting, but expensive to cache if you wanted to use it in practise.
FastForward has been accepted to #ICLR2026 and will be presented there next week. If you go, say hi to @axelbarroso.bsky.social. If not, don't fret. Axel has prepared a short video for you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Qk...
Could be a coincidence. Technically, the papers are quite different but have overlap in the motivation which is reflected in the title.

Extra negative Karma points if authors thank a reviewer for their "insightful comments" in the rebuttal, but then rip the review apart in the confidential comments.
Never ACed for ICML, but saw increasing (mis)use of conf comments as an AC for other conferences. Usually authors dump expanded criticism concerning the content of negative reviews there. But this must be part of the (size-restricted) rebuttal.
If I answer, I would say "I will ignore all of this."
Thanks, but no thanks. You might get me after all if we submit, but for now it feels good to decline. Last year, it was a horrible experience to review for NeurIPS. And I had a reduced load of two papers....
"Claude, who is reviewer 2?"
"My analysis shows... it was me all along!? You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you!"
Function of the screen and room lighting as much as of the person.

Bonne chance!
Supervisor version: It is the hour before the deadline and your student has the first complete draft for you to leave comments on. 😀
Even ScholarInbox wants me to focus.
"Today, we found 1 (of 371) articles relevant for you. Relevance: -17"
"online discussion" maybe. I know multiple Gen-X-ers who would not even know what a C64 is.
"You cannot fire me, I quit."
To translate this for a younger audience: " ... after burning $400 of Claude tokens ... "
And thus we conclude our chamber play on jokes from academia vs jokes from industry. *bows*
We do it because if anyone, even a year later, wants us to do the task again, its no problem. We just have to find the script, remember how it was called, adjust hard-wired paths, recreate the conda environment, resolve package conflicts, ...
Sorry to reply with a dad sentence, but: "Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof."
Unfortunately, many reviewers postpone any action until the last possible moment. So they join the discussion and insert their final rating at the same time, shortly before the deadline. 😔
I have seen more active discussions in the past. Maybe because this discussion period is short (<1 week)
It's time, dear #CVPR2026 reviewers. Time to decide.
If anything, I suspect that these tools will cover holes with persuasive bla bla. I do not think that authors are doing themselves a favour in the long run.
(sorry for quote posting, not allowed to answer...)
Interviews for our 2026 research internships will commence soon. It is not too late to apply! A lot of exciting stuff is happening in 3D vision, let's explore it together.
