How to complete your OpenReview profile
For better paper-reviewer and paper-AC matching and detecting conflict of interests, it is critical that all people involved in the review process have their complete OpenReview profiles.
It is mandatory for ALL authors, reviewers, and area chairs of WACV 2026 to have completed, updated OpenReview profiles. Authors must have OpenReview profiles to be added to paper submissions. We will not accept requests to add / remove authors after the paper submission deadline. A failure to complete any of the author registration tasks by the submission deadline may subject the paper to desk-rejection.
For WACV 2026, a complete OpenReview profile consists of the following eight criteria. The complete profile also needs to be visible to the organizers. One way to check how your profile looks to the public is to logout from the OpenReview (or use an incognito browsing mode) and check your profile page.
1. OpenReview ID
It is very important to know your OpenReview ID. Once you login to OpenReview, you can find your profile page at top right.
Your OpenReview profile ID is part of the URL. E.g., ~Yoshitomo_Matsubara1 (starting with a tilde ~)is the OpenReview ID for https://openreview.net/profile?id=~Yoshitomo_Matsubara1
When you send an email to organizers, use your primary email address in the OpenReview profile and please mention your OpenReview ID. It will help us identify your submissions / assignments.
If you have not created an OpenReview profile yet, submit a request using this form. We suggest that you use an institutional email address when submitting the request. If you use a non-institutional email address such as Gmail, it may take up to 2 weeks for OpenReview to create your profile. You can add and change your primary email address later. If you happen to have multiple OpenReview profiles, send an email to info@openreview.net and request to merge the accounts.
2. Name and Current Position(s)
Make sure that your name is correct and your current positions are listed under your name. To display your current positions, follow the instruction for "Education & Career History" below.
3. Confirmed Email Address(es)
You need to have at least one confirmed email address in your profile. Adding an email address to the profile, you will receive an email to verify the email address. Once the verification process is complete, the email domain will be displayed with a "(Confirmed)" label in the profile.
4. Personal Links
Check if your DBLP profile exists at https://dblp.org/pers/
If it exists, add the profile URL to your OpenReview profile and import the publications by clicking the "Add DBLP Papers to Profile" button.
Note: If you see an error like "<your DBLP URL> is a disambiguation link. Click here for more information", you cannot use the URL. You will need to contact DBLP to resolve the issue.
Add URLs of your homepage, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar profiles, if available. Those links will help ACs recommend reviewers for papers in their batches.

5. Education & Career History

- End Year (blank for current positions)
- Institution Info (including domain name)
- Institution Country/Region (visible when you mouseover a map icon)
6. Advisors, Relations & Conflicts

7. Expertise

For better paper assignments as a reviewer or area chair,
- Avoid overly broad topics like “computer vision.”
- Include specific subfields that reflect your research background and ongoing interests (e.g., 3D vision, scene understanding, object detection, etc.).
8. (Recent) Publications
If you have already imported your DBLP papers and/or have papers submitted / published at other OpenReview venues, this section should be automatically filled.
In case your papers are not caught by DBLP and you don't have any papers in your OpenReview profile, you can manually upload your papers at OpenReview Archive.
