For authors who resubmitted their work to NeurIPS:
Although opt in making the ICML rejection public can drive transparency and demostrating improvement. However, you need to think about the Cons too.
There’s research (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.14646) showing reviewers tend to score resubmissions lower if they know it got rejected before, even if it’s the exact same paper. Plus, having the rejection out there might give the impression the paper’s not great quality, consciously or subconsciously affecting reviewers.
