"My Review" Page Enhancements

We’ve made the "My Review" page more powerful and user-friendly:

• Keyword Search: Find papers easily by searching titles, abstracts, conference names, or authors.
• Sorting Options: Sort reviews by date, conference, author, or title.
• Propensity Indicator: See an at-a-glance view of your review outcomes, tailored to each conference’s scoring range:
  • Reject (red): Bottom 33%
  • Borderline (blue): Middle 33%
  • Accept (green): Top 33%
• Paged Results: Browse through all your reviews with faster loading and pagination (no longer limited to the latest 40).

Expanded Conference Support

By popular request, we’ve added review support for two flagship IR conferences:

• SIGIR 2025 (Full Paper Track)
• WWW / TheWebConf 2025 (Research Track)

We thank our collaborators from Tsinghua University, Rutgers University, and Microsoft for their guidance, templates, and benchmarking samples.

Increased PDF Page Limit

We’ve raised the maximum PDF length from 20 to 25 pages.
This change reflects community feedback and allows for more comprehensive paper submissions. We’ll continue monitoring usage and may adjust further if needed.

️ Backend Optimizations

To improve speed and reliability, we’ve made several backend upgrades:

• Optimized storage and infrastructure.
• Indexed reviews to enable quick searches on "My Review" page.
• Improved agent life-cycle management.
• Reduced sequential/synchronized jobs for PDF processing.
• Streamlined background review processes for both Arxiv and PDF uploads.

Bug Fixes

• ICLR Score Distribution: Adjusted calibration after expanding our benchmarking dataset, fixing overly optimistic results.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback.
We’re committed to making CSPaper Review faster, easier, and more reliable for the research community.
