Author response for An Analysis of SVD for Deep Rotation Estimation, Paper ID11801

There is ample evidence that our contribution would be received as surprising by the research community. Deep learning research for vision/robotics applications is judged on the output (e.g. That domain experts do not consider SVD (L40, [19,4,30,24]) indicates our results would be surprising. This is supported by other reviewers, e.g. " Given the surprising and comprehensive empirical " if the continuity described in section 3.4 is the same type of'global right-inverse' continuity described in [47].
