You're going to see a lot of those right now, they are submissions for a double blind assessment by the most prestigious AI conference.

Can you exams on this? Interested in what the purpose of the double blind is for the conference? Are there awards involved?

I think it's done this way to prevent bias when peer-reviewing. This way independent submissions and smaller institutions get equal treatment alongside the likes of Google and OpenAI, or well-known researchers. It may also prevent negative bias against commercially funded research.

In academia you often remove the authors to prevent bias. For instance, if you are peer reviewing Richard Dawkins on some biology submission, you’re just going to go “oh yeah this guy is the best in the world. I’m sure everything is done by the book.” And then approve it without much criticism.

The problem is, however, most of academia already kind of know what everyone is working on and the writing styles of the best, so it’s still kind of obvious who you’re peer reviewing. But it’s the best we got.
