Has anyone (who understands Chinese) seen the Zhihu thread about the worst/bad CVPR 2019 accepted papers? Here it is – https://www.zhihu.com/question/327139341. I find it quite controversial and interesting. There are allegations that people use all kinds of unscrupulous ways to publish or get their papers accepted at CVPR. These include having big-name researchers to “say hello” to the supposedly anonymous reviewers (i.e., coaxing them into giving good paper ratings), blatantly plagiarizing ideas/contributions from previous papers, deliberately lowering baseline results, and so on.
