DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, along with Corinna Cortes\, I was Program Chair of t
 he Neural Information Processing Systems conference. At the time\, when wo
 ndering about innovations for the conference\, Corinna and I decided it wo
 uld be interesting to test the consistency of reviewing. With this in mind
 \, we randomly selected 10% of submissions and had them reviewed by two in
 dependent committees. \n\nIn this talk I will review the construction of t
 he experiment\, explain how the NeurIPS review process worked and talk abo
 ut what I felt the implications for reviewing were\, vs what the community
  reaction was.\n\nMore information: http://inverseprobability.com/talks/no
