I just wondered why the UAI conferences don't use a double-blind review process (i.e. both the author(s) as well as the reviewers are anonymous during the reviewing)? Although it would mean a slight increase in paper work for the organisation committee, it would also give the appearance of higher professionalism throughout the community.
(No, this is not about me being rejected and wanting to blame someone else, or whatever. It is simply the observation that many other highly competitive arenas, such as the IJCAI, have introduced double-blind reviews a long time ago...) Best regards Helge Langseth
