Review for NeurIPS paper: Uncertainty-aware Self-training for Few-shot Text Classification

Weaknesses: My main concerns are on the experiments. While the authors make effort to perform ablation analysis, I think there are still some important missing ablations to convince me that such BNN-powerd self-training scheme is better than classic ST: (1) The proposed method always uses smart sample selection strategy while the classic ST baseline in this paper does not select samples or just select them uniformly. It is very common for classic ST to select samples based on confidence scores, which can be class-dependent as well. Thus I feel that the comparison made with classic ST is not very fair. I would like to see the comparison between UST removing Conf and classic ST with confidence-based and class-dependent sample selection, or just replace the sample selection part in full UST with confidence-score-based selection to see what happens, otherwise I don't see any direct evidence to show that the BNN-powered "uncertainty-awareness" is better than simple confidence-score-based baseline.
