Hello everyone. I am sharing this story because a junior researcher in Computer Vision encountered a devastating deadlock with IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (IEEE T-PAMI).
- The researcher submitted a paper that received three highly positive reviews (two EXCELLENT, one GOOD).
- A reviewer was quoted in the decision letter despite not having provided an actual review. This reviewer had previously confirmed submitting a positive review but it was mysteriously withdrawn before the final decision.
- Despite multiple requests for investigation from the IEEE and Computer Society, no concrete response has been received after half a year.
This case highlights potential issues with peer review transparency and fairness in major AI conferences. It also raises questions about how to address such anomalies when they occur.

This brief covers what happened (the rejection despite positive reviews) and why it matters (potential issues with the review process). The takeaways emphasize the need for transparency, fair review processes, and timely responses from editorial bodies.
