  The present paper introduces a group activity involving writing summaries of
conference proceedings by volunteer participants. The rapid increase in
scientific papers is a heavy burden for researchers, especially non-native
speakers, who need to survey scientific literature. To alleviate this problem,
we organized a group of non-native English speakers to write summaries of
papers presented at a computer vision conference to share the knowledge of the
papers read by the group. We summarized a total of 2,000 papers presented at
the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, a top-tier
conference on computer vision, in 2019 and 2020. We quantitatively analyzed
participants' selection regarding which papers they read among the many
available papers. The experimental results suggest that we can summarize a wide
range of papers without asking participants to read papers unrelated to their
interests.
