Announcement of new NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML Journal-to-Conference Track

[naila....@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

With this email, we wish to inform you of a new opportunity to present JMLR published papers, through a Journal-to-Conference Track initiative by the NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML conferences.

The Boards of machine learning conferences NeurIPS, ICLR and ICML have jointly agreed on experimenting with a new Journal-to-Conference track, through which the authors of published journal papers at selected journals would be given the opportunity to present their work at one of these 3 conferences, of their choosing. This initiative is inspired by the Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL) of the NLP community, where published papers are eligible for presentation at sponsoring NLP conferences.

As an initial experiment, this track will be considering published papers from the Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR), for presentation at NeurIPS 2022, ICLR 2023 and ICML 2023.

Eligibility

Eligible papers must:

• Have been published no earlier than January 1st 2022. 

• Not contain contributions that have already been published at a conference by the same authors. In other words, the journal paper cannot be an extension of a previous conference publication.

This first cycle of 3 top ML conferences will be used to gather experience with this format and determine whether and how future cycles for this track should continue.

Request to present

To request a presentation, the author of an eligible JMLR published paper must submit their request through the following form:

https://forms.gle/7baKjVfyaqPWp1nN6 

(if for some reason you are not able to use this form, you may email at  journaltocon...@gmail.com)

Each conference has its own deadline for receiving requests, as follows:

• NeurIPS 2022: September 8th 2022

• ICLR 2023: January 13th 2023

• ICML 2023: TBD

All valid requests will be accepted, up until the presentation capacity of the host conference is reached.

For more information, see the website describing the track for NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML or reach out to the Oversight Committee for the track at journaltocon...@gmail.com .

Cheers,

Naila, on behalf of the Oversight Committee
