摘要:

尽管自17世纪以来,同行评议一直是学术界的重要组成部分,但它因缺乏透明度和一致性而一再受到批评。我们认为,最近在机器学习和可解释的人工智能方面的工作提供了工具,可以从给定的同行评审过程中洞察决策。我们首先以语言特征的形式提取全局解释,这些语言特征影响科学论文在开放的同行评审数据集上发表的接受程度。第二,由于这种全球性的解释不证明因果解释,我们提供了一种方法来检测混杂效应的自然语言,以产生因果解释,假设下,在词汇的形式。我们提出的语言学解释方法在ICLR提交的案例数据集上表明了以下几点:a)组织委员会在很大程度上遵循审稿人的建议,b)导致审稿人建议接受发表的论文的主要特征是原创性,清晰度和实质内容。

英文摘要:

Despite peer-reviewing being an essential component of academia since the 1600s, it has repeatedly received criticisms for lack of transparency and consistency. We posit that recent work in machine learning and explainable AI provide tools that enable insights into the decisions from a given peer review process. We start by extracting global explanations in the form of linguistic features that affect the acceptance of a scientific paper for publication on an open peer-review dataset. Second, since such global explanations do not justify causal interpretations, we provide a methodology for detecting confounding effects in natural language in order to generate causal explanations, under assumptions, in the form of lexicons. Our proposed linguistic explanation methodology indicates the following on a case dataset of ICLR submissions: a) the organising committee follows, for the most part, the recommendations of reviewers, and, b) the paper's main characteristics that led to reviewers recommending acceptance for publication are originality, clarity and substance.
