sigir-author-response

Use when reviews arrive for a SIGIR submission and the authors must decide how to answer — triaging IR-reviewer objections (weak baselines, missing significance tests, collection choice), writing within whatever response mechanism the current SIGIR cycle actually offers, and planning the resubmission path if the answer is no.

# SIGIR Author Response

First establish what response channel exists this cycle. SIGIR does **not** have a
famous institutionalized rebuttal ritual the way ICLR or KDD do, and whether a given
edition runs an author-response or discussion phase for full/short papers was not
verifiable for 2026 (待核实 — check the track page and the OpenReview timeline of your
own submission). This skill therefore covers three situations: a real response window,
no window at all, and the post-rejection letter.
