acmmm-review-process

acmmm-review-process is a skill for Claude Code from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,023 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to how ACM Multimedia (ACM MM) papers are reviewed, from submission and reviewer assignment through rebuttal, final decision, and oral or poster selection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a suitable thematic area, understand double-blind review, prepare an anonymous rebuttal, and interpret meta-reviews and presentation decisions.
Why use it?
It explains which parts of the review process authors can influence and prevents them from spending effort on stages they cannot change.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

acmmm-review-process scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ACM MM Review Process

Use this to build an accurate mental model of how an ACM Multimedia paper is judged, so strategy targets the points where an author can move the outcome and not the points where they cannot.

The pipeline

  1. Submission + thematic area. The paper enters OpenReview under a chosen thematic area, which routes it to a matching reviewer pool and area chair.
  2. Assignment. Reviewers and an AC are assigned; a mismatched thematic area is where papers get reviewers who cannot judge the contribution.
  3. Reviews. Reviewers assess novelty, cross-modal soundness, evidence (including user studies where relevant), and reproducibility.
  4. Rebuttal. An optional, anonymous author response addresses reviews; new external links are not allowed.
  5. Discussion + meta-review. Reviewers and the AC discuss; the AC writes a meta-review and recommendation.
  6. Decision + tiers. Accept/reject, with accepted papers sorted into presentation tiers (oral vs. poster) and award consideration.

Where leverage exists

Stage Author leverage Reality
Thematic-area choice High You pick who reviews you — choose the area that can judge the contribution
Submission quality High The paper is the main lever; the rebuttal only patches
Rebuttal Medium Fix factual errors and add small confirmatory results; rarely flips a strong reject
Discussion Low/indirect You cannot see it; a clean rebuttal gives the AC ammunition
Decision/tiers None directly Set by AC/PC after discussion

Reading a review set

  • Separate factual errors (a reviewer misread a result) from judgment (they find the delta small); the first is fixable in rebuttal, the second usually is not.
  • Weight the cross-modal critiques: "the fusion is not shown to matter" is often the decisive line, and an ablation is the answer.
  • Note the AC's implicit questions in the meta-review; that is who the rebuttal is really written for.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
