ANTE Reviewer 3

Reviewer 3 · Original review

Critical Weaknesses:

The difference to the closest methods has not been explained clearly, nor demonstrated in the experiments. Appendix A lists related work, and a reader is left with an impression that there are several previous works that do something similar even if not in exactly the same way. What is the delta to the closest methods, why is it significant, and is it possible to demonstrate the benefit in the experiments?

The presentation and figures are not clear enough. For example, looking at figures 1 and 2, the fonts are so small that it’s almost impossible to even see what is written, and it does not help that there are maybe 10 different colors, several font types, and decoration which is not always informative. The math in the main text is also not always clear, and the propositions do not seem to add much value to the story.

Questions For Authors:

Question: How did you set the hyperparameters?

Question: The paper writes that when assigning credits, BAPO compares “steps with the same forecast across rollouts of the same task, regardless of trajectory position”. Could you elaborate the intuition of this?
