Do top conferences contain well cited papers or junk?
Abstract
In order to answer questions about top conference publication patterns, citation data is collected and analyzed for several computer science conferences, with focus on computer vision and graphics. Both top and second tier conferences are included, and sampling occurred for two different 5 year periods. Example questions include: Do top conferences contain well cited papers or junk? (Yes) Are top conferences similarly cited? (No) Are second tier conferences as good as first tier conferences? (Sometimes) Has something been changing at CVPR? (Yes)
