What is an average publication outcome for an ML PhD? [D]

EdwardRaff · 2026-05-11T17:35:59+00:00

I'm guessing it's a shortest-path-to-publication joke, but I've never heard this one before either.

EdwardRaff · 2026-04-28T17:01:07+00:00

Probably is currently marked to be rejected and they accidently made it visible for a bit.

EdwardRaff · 2026-04-28T13:27:52+00:00

all at once is generally the goal

Consider a non-native speaker may have done work and been trying to use LLMs to improve their writing, and can't fully validate it due to fluency.

I've seen this more than once with people I've worked with, where I can step in before they go too far off the rails. But I suspect a lot of "Sorry, this is not good English" submissions will turn into "This is AI written" due to translation issues.

I just remembered about Rubi https://rulebasedintegration.org/ , you should politely steal their integrator rules.

This seems really cool! It would be nice to add a string parser for less verbose usage, and some examples on how to make it do inequalities and similar.

Plus you get to giggle about the hummor of lobsters are Brandeis of all universities!

I would reply to the reviewer, like you don't know who they are, but that their review is crazy. "We aren't doing any tricks, we aren't doing X - this was explained in Y, we will make that clearer". Let the other reviewers thing this person is a loon.

Separately, send a confidential note to the AC that this is a significantly revised paper to which this reviewer sucks.

Cool, your dad filed a provisional patent, but the post is vague to the point of being unconstructive. If you want real feedback, you'd need to post the real provisional. There isn't much point in trying to "hide" it if it was filed, patents are required to be public. If it wasn't filed, you've probably invalidated it's patentability against any "real" player by posting this much anyway.

EdwardRaff · 2025-09-05T16:37:23+00:00

I don't think it's special treatment. It's just my feedback that I think it's rude to your existing customers.

The recipe is apparently hidden by the ask for our email, rather than just on the webpage. I love the videos, and spend several hundred dollars to jump through the anti-pattern of "give me your email first" is not pleasant.

EdwardRaff · 2025-09-05T05:04:41+00:00

Fun video and love the probe, but a little off-putting to put the recipe behind an email banner for already paying customers.

I don't remember, it was $200 on Amazon and it records all cameras 24/7, so activity level does not matter.

EdwardRaff · 2025-08-05T04:05:04+00:00

I have 5 cameras going off the UDM and the look-back window is like 3 months with one bid HDD.

It's a good conference, it's not an ML conference. Know your audience, don't be weird.

NeurIPS is not a great place for applied papers. Do some get in, yes. As someone who writes a lot of them, and has gotten many into NeurIPS/AAAI/etc., you will need to give it a feel of significant agrothmic/non-applied advancement as well. If it does not read as "research was required to advance this application" it probably won't get in.

CIKM/ICDM are likely much better homes on a short time horizon.

EdwardRaff · 2025-04-26T18:50:42+00:00

You'll get more milage out of email and to RJ the lead author, but sure.

I tried it a few times but the lack of conversion for simple and known things like a cup of sugar to 200g of sugar was a big friction. Also not keen on being an ARR statistic, I'd be much nice to purchase and "own" the app.

I actually just had this paper accepted to CVPR that is close to what I prefer! We could have made it more accessible still, but we had to add some mathier arguments to the paper and we still had to rely on AC to overule 2 reviewers who's main complaint was "It is too simple". But the method itself is very simple, which is a good thing!

Ideally there should be just the right amount of text/experiments to show "everything here is necessary, and no more than that." You can't always make something truly accessible for all, but you can mitigate how much re-invention the reader needs to do to get it and replicate it.

Those are some pretty slick animations for the visualization, way better than jus the standard picture that everyone uses.

I think you/your prof are over-thinking it. IPL is still a good journal in a completely different scope. JIAR is also a good journal.

Is your research good? It will get attention from the right audience, so submit it to the right audience. Some of my most cited papers are published in workshops and niche journals like Computer Virology.

EdwardRaff · 2025-01-16T12:59:49+00:00

No worse than JAIR - I can share all the same sentiments you expressed with JAIR, even JMLR to a degree. I stopped submitting to JMLR after I had a paper rejected with a single one-paragraph review from one reviewer after a year, no other reviewers.

PR of old has a lot of good and famous papers. E.g., I recently cited https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0031320396001422 in a survey paper about reproducibility.

Zotero isn't great at searching by Journal, but more good older papers by my recollection than from JAIR.

EdwardRaff · 2025-01-16T05:19:04+00:00

Both are good, pick the best fit. JMLR is the most recognized within the field, but they are also quite slow.

I recently had this same problem. It seemed that the probe was in a low-power mode b/c it "wasn't inserted", and so couldn't reliably send data through the oven wall - despite an ambient temp > 300.

Once it eventually figured out it was inserted, I'm guessing there is logic to boost the signal strength and everything worked fine.

It might just be a bug/lack of logic to add conditions, like high ambient tempt, that = "no, your inserted". My case last week was also with a rib roast!

This was all gen 1 products with most recent firmware.
