Reviews: Why Can't I Dance in the Mall? Learning to Mitigate Scene Bias in Action Recognition

The initial scores for this paper were: 4: An okay submission, but not good enough; a reject. The main concerns of the negative reviewers were: - issues about the problem formulation - only weak baselines are considered; results below the state-of-the-art - limited novelty - missing citations - only relatively minor improvements obtained by the proposed approach The positive reviewer also acknowledges the issues with experimental evaluation (the proposed method is shown to help weak baselines that are overall below the state-of-the-art), but finds the idea of the paper interesting, original and standing out. The authors provide a rebuttal. In the follow-up discussion among the reviewers, R3 acknowledges that some of their concerns have been addressed but remains borderline negative (5) as they think the rebuttal does not alleviate the concerns regarding the overall low results and some ablations are still missing. R2 agrees on the issues with experimental evaluation pointed by R1 R3 but maintains that "given that the problem and the method are interesting and that there are no good dataset to study them, I would recommend accept."
