I’d say, as an academic and reviewer, single author papers are extremely suspicious in both my current area of computer science research (computer vision and machine learning) as well as my previous area (compilers).
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoIf the conference is double blind, how could you even tell? Also, there are plenty of single author papers in compilers and PL that are considered seminal, actually most seminal papers are single author. Multi-author papers are typically student ones.
- hprotagonist 8y agoAnother point here: in CS, there appears to be little to no difference between "conference paper" and "journal paper". That is _not_ always the case. In the biosciences, "conference paper" means "an undergrad could do this half-asleep, and probably did; nobody actually cares much."
