What ICASSP reviewers will look for

ICASSP papers get at least three reviews on a fixed list of criteria (importance, novelty, technical correctness, experimental validation, clarity, references), an overall evaluation and a detailed assessment shared with the authors. Extreme ratings carry meaning: "Irrelevant", "Has been done before", "Has major problems", "Insufficient validation" and "Does not cite relevant work" each imply rejection and must be justified. The optional rebuttal goes to area and track chairs, not the reviewers. Review is single-anonymous (authors are visible to reviewers).
