    Is it a coincidence that the conference is happening at Georgia Tech and 6 of the 10 papers have at least one co-author that is a student of or graduated from Georgia Tech in the last few years?

      It’s hard to see how the location of the conference affects the PC members. I doubt that most of them or of the sub-referees were even much aware of the location.

      A different theory regarding PC preferences is needed.

        2 of the PC members are from Georgia Tech. One of them is known for partiallity.

    Of the 2 PC members one of them is an advisor of most of them, so i assume he would have COI and had to leave the room during the discussion. The other is just starting at GA Tech, and I didn’t know she had such a reputation already!!
