I appreciate your laying things out clearly. I think breaking up the field into smaller, more journal-like venues sounds like a step in the right direction, and I’m sure some of that thought went into creating TMLR. I do wonder though if that becomes too popular, whether the same problems would reappear…people/companies would uphold a select number of venues, and everyone will end up submitting to those venues, etc…
I appreciate the response! I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean when you say we have public statistics tied to our profile. Currently reviews are tied to an anonymized name, and I’m thinking we should be able to link the name to a past history of review scores, meta-reviews, etc.
Ive heard this before! I never worked on anything that could be submitted to COLT or STOC, are the review processes different?
