interspeech-author-response
Use when INTERSPEECH reviews arrive on CMT and a rebuttal is due — triaging three-or-more speech reviewers with mixed science/engineering instincts, answering WER/MOS evidence doubts with material already in the 4-page record, keeping replies anonymous, and writing for the meta-reviewer who decides in June.

# INTERSPEECH Author Response Interspeech added an author rebuttal to its historically response-free pipeline in recent cycles; for 2026 the response window was reported as 24 April – 1 May, ahead of the 5 June notification. Confirm the live mechanics (length cap, CMT form fields, whether replies go to reviewers or only the area chair) before writing a word — rebuttal formats at this venue are young and still moving. ## Know your audience mix An Interspeech review set typically mixes reviewer species, because ISCA's areas span science and engineering: | Reviewer instinct | What they attacked | What convinces them | |---|---|---| | Speech engineer | Baselines stale, WER delta within noise | Point to the significance test or per-condition breakdown already in the paper | | Speech scientist | No phonetic/error analysis, claims exceed perception data | Cite the analysis subsection; concede scope honestly | | ML generalist | "Incremental over the arXiv version of X" | State the technical delta in one sentence; note what the 4-page record shows | | Resource skeptic | Corpus license, split leakage, evaluation protocol | Quote the exact split/protocol line; name the license | Answer each r

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill interspeech-author-response --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
