James Davis
TL;DR
This paper analyzes citation patterns in top and second-tier computer science conferences, revealing differences in paper quality, citation distribution, and trends over time, especially in CVPR.
Contribution
It provides an empirical analysis of citation data across multiple conferences, highlighting differences between tiers and temporal changes in citation patterns.
Findings
Top conferences contain well-cited papers.
Second tier conferences are sometimes comparable to top-tier.
Citation patterns have changed over time at CVPR.
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)
