[D] MLSys 2026 rebuttal phase — thoughts on reviews so far?

Hi all,

With the MLSys 2026 rebuttal phase currently ongoing, I thought it might be useful to start a constructive discussion about experiences with the reviews so far.

A few optional prompts, if helpful:

• Do the reviews seem to reflect strong domain familiarity with your work?
• How consistent are the scores and written feedback across reviewers?
• Are the main concerns clear and addressable in a rebuttal?
• Any advice or strategies for writing an effective MLSys rebuttal?

The goal here isn’t to complain or speculate about outcomes, but to share patterns and practical insights that might help authors navigate the rebuttal process more effectively.

Feel free to keep things high-level and anonymous. Looking forward to hearing others’ perspectives.
