Hi all, I’m a statistics PhD researching statistical machine learning (think Gaussian Processes). I have a few papers in the pipeline at solid statistics publications (Journal of the American Statistical Association/Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics).
Do these journals have any weight/name recognition in the ML world or are they unknown/chopped liver? Thanks!
I think there are plenty of Statisticians working in ML who obviously know JASA and JCGS, and you do see pretty well-known folks from the Mike Jordan tree who often publish in JASA. But the broader community, probably not so much. There are tons of fields that publish in the ML venues, and just like I might not understand how good a journal Operations Research or IEEE Information Theory are, they won’t know JASA.
Do I have to pay for it? If yes - then no thank you. We have more than enough sources to get informed about papers from. I can’t wait till other sciences catch up to the openness in science that we have in AI and IT in general.
