What it does

Interspeech Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how INTERSPEECH review actually works — area-based assignment inside ISCA's scientific program, multi-reviewer scoring and meta-review on CMT, what the rebuttal can and cannot move, oral/poster allocation, ISCA best student paper selection, and reading a decision letter for next-cycle strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Education, covering Essays and academic help. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reasoning about how INTERSPEECH review actually works — area-based assignment inside ISCAs scientific program
  • Multi-reviewer scoring and meta-review on CMT
  • What the rebuttal can and cannot move
  • Oral/poster allocation

Example prompts

  • “/interspeech-review-process”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Interspeech Review Process loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 695 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when reasoning about how INTERSPEECH review actually works — area-based assignment inside ISCA's scientific program, multi-reviewer scoring and meta-review on CMT, what the rebuttal can and cannot move, oral/poster allocation, ISCA best student paper selection, and reading a decision letter for next-cycle strategy.

INTERSPEECH Review Process

Interspeech reviews several thousand submissions a year through an area-structured technical program committee, on a compressed spring schedule, with a single decision date. Understanding the machine explains both the review you got and the leverage you have. Mechanics are re-tuned annually by that year's Technical Program Chairs — the 2026 shape below is a snapshot, not a constitution.

The pipeline, 2026 shape

Stage2026 anchorAuthor-visible?
Submission + update window25 Feb / update to 4 Maryes
Area chairs assign reviewers within the chosen scientific areaMar–Aprno
Independent reviews written (typically 3+)Aprat release
Author rebuttal windowreported 24 Apr – 1 May (待核实)yes
Meta-review / area consolidationMayin decision
TPC acceptance meeting; program packing (oral vs poster)Mayno
Notification5 Junyes
Camera-ready19 Junyes

The area is the unit of everything: your reviewers, your meta-reviewer, and your competition for slots all come from the scientific area you selected at submission. That is why area choice is a strategy decision, not a form field.

What reviewers are scored on

ISCA-style review forms ask for judgments along familiar axes — novelty/relevance, technical correctness, quality of evaluation, clarity, and reference coverage — plus a listen to any audio. Exact form wording per cycle is 待核实; what is stable is the community's calibration:

  • "Not convincing" (evaluation too thin, no significance, wrong baseline) is the modal complaint — more than "not novel."
  • Speech reviewers reward scoped claims verified carefully over broad claims verified loosely.
  • Reference coverage includes the ISCA Archive lineage; missing the standard prior system from two Interspeechs ago is read as not knowing the field.

What the rebuttal moves (and what it cannot)

Interspeech's rebuttal is young (introduced in recent cycles) and short. It reliably fixes: factual misreadings, missed content in the dense 4 pages, and protocol misunderstandings. It rarely fixes: taste, scope objections, or a reviewer's judgment that the evidence bar was missed. Write for the meta-reviewer who will arbitrate (see interspeech-author-response).

Decisions and what they encode

  • Accept: mode (oral/poster) arrives with scheduling, not with the decision; poster is a packing outcome, not a demotion — award-winning papers present as posters at this venue.
  • Reject: the letter usually aggregates review themes. Decode for next cycle: evidence gap → fixable by interspeech-experiments; fit complaint → re-run interspeech-topic-selection; density complaint → the 4 pages were overstuffed, consider the Long Paper track or a journal.
  • There is no conditional-accept limbo; the accept is real and the camera-ready window is administrative.

Awards, for calibration not planning

ISCA confers three Best Student Paper awards at each Interspeech (selection combines reviewing and on-site presentation; the first author must be a student — verify current criteria), and the ISCA Medal for Scientific Achievement opens the conference. Award papers are useful exemplars of the venue's taste — see resources/exemplars/library.md — but optimizing a submission for awards is noise.

Confidentiality and conduct

Reviews, scores, and CMT discussion are confidential; quoting them publicly violates community norms. Reviewer duty flows the other way too — Interspeech recruits heavily from the author pool, and reviewing a few papers well is how the 4-page machine stays alive.

Reading your reviews: a 20-minute protocol

text
1. Strip scores; list every distinct claim reviewers make about the paper.
2. Tag each: misreading / evidence gap / scope-taste / writing density.
3. Count how many trace to compression (answer existed but was crushed
   out of the 4 pages) — that fraction is your writing problem, not your
   research problem.
4. Identify what the meta-reviewer will likely weight: points echoed by
   2+ reviewers, or by the most expert one.
5. Choose the lane: rebut (this cycle) / revise (next cycle) / reroute.

Calibrating expectations by phase

  • March–April (silence): normal. Reviewer assignment and writing are underway; there is nothing to check and nobody to email.
  • Late April (reviews/rebuttal, if run): the one author-input point of the spring. Missing a one-week window because nobody watched CMT is a wholly preventable failure — name the watcher at submission time.
  • May (silence again): meta-review and TPC consolidation; score changes here are invisible to you.
  • Early June: decision. The same-week triage meeting matters because the camera-ready window is two weeks and registration pricing tiers are ticking.

Scale, honestly stated

Interspeech operates at thousands-of-submissions scale with a large volunteer reviewer pool, which explains the texture of the process: short reviews, area-local calibration, no negotiation rounds, and a program committee that packs a five-day, many-parallel-session program. Publicly posted acceptance rates vary by edition and are not restated here (待核实 per cycle) — but the planning implication is stable: the process is one-shot per year, so the February version of the paper is the paper.
