KDD reviews are coming out, and most community-shared scores cluster around 2.6 to 3.6 on average. Common patterns are like 333xx, 433xx, or 422xx, showing that many papers are seen as average in novelty and technical quality. Even submissions authors are proud of are mostly getting 3s, with only a few 4s or 5s. The overall vibe: “low scores are normal, let’s just hope for kind reviewers and make the most of rebuttal.”
In short, KDD remains tough, and scores are modest across the board.
