Announcing Notable Reviewers and Area Chairs at ICLR 2023
By Nancy F. Chen, program chair of ICLR 2023
ICLR 2023 is just around the corner! The quality of the technical program relies critically on the dedicated and professional service from volunteers in the ICLR community to serve as reviewers. We would like to thank the 5K+ reviewers who have helped shape this year’s technical program. In particular, we would like to recognize notable reviewers and area chairs who have contributed significantly. Their names and pictures are posted on the ICLR 2023 website.
Selection Process of Notable Reviewers and Area Chairs
Professionalism, technical expertise, and ability to write good reviews were the main selection criteria used. The following factors (not exhaustive list) were considered during the selection process.
Professionalism:
- High sense of responsibility
- Responsive to requests, questions
- Completes tasks in timely manner or early
- Proactive in taking initiatives and asking questions to preempt undesirable consequences
- Resourcefulness, e.g. ability to get last minute reviews, crash reviewers or replacement Area Chairs

Technical Expertise and Ability to Write Good Reviews or Meta Reviews:
- Reviews are insightful, thorough, comprehensive, respectful, or convincing
- Reads up on related literature and references

- Displays tact and diplomacy in one’s communication and reviews to preempt unnecessary misunderstanding or make feedback more likely be accepted
