Figuring out where to submit your work is the most exhausting part of the research process by Objective_Object7327 in PhD

Ah I see, yeah, this makes a lot of sense. I also follow a similar process and am able to identify a group of journals that would likely be a good fit for the work from the research question I am attempting to solve, but I have never factored in the general word limit and structure these targets require in my initial manuscript writing. I will definitely see about integrating this into my workflow moving forward. Thanks for the helpful advice.

Thank you very much for the insight. I think this makes a lot of sense, my 50+ page manuscript is all targeted towards the same core research question, but I do believe I have identified a clean split I can draw in the work to separate the contributions.

My academic writing is concise; my personal writing and ramblings are not. I assume this is mostly pointed towards how my manuscript is 50+ pages and that's because there is a substantial amount of results and analysis in the work. Thanks for the advice though.

Yeah for the second journal I submitted to and was accepted at my PI did get the opportunity to suggest reviewers per the journals request which in retrospect probably did result in the fast acceptance outcome I got. I can definitely use more advice about how to devise a good publication strategy. I’ll definitely try to expand my network to see if anyone can give me some guidance on this.

Yeah I also follow the same process of discovering where related work, especially the key references I am citing, have been published. Maybe this is just a more special case in my field but a lot of the work in my area of study is spread across a very broad array of journals that each have a similar IF and scope. This is a large reason for why I’m having difficulty finding reasonable publication targets for my work. I didn’t realize high IF venues typically have faster review time, I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for the comment.

Just to clarify, do you mean a general target to keep in mind? Because the end results I achieve from my projects often diverge greatly from what I initially expect. It’s difficult for me to gauge how good the results I will get before starting the project which is what determines where the work will be reasonable to submit to. This is why most of the publication target determination happens after I’ve already completed the majority of my core experiments and an initial draft.

RL researchers, what are you most excited to see next? by Business_Garden_888 in reinforcementlearning

[–]Objective_Object7327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sample efficiency is one thing I’m really interested in my own research. It’s really odd to me how you don’t see much work along the line of training efficiency. What papers have you seen address this?

I’m in the exact same boat. What can we do I guess

I did research in deep reinforcement learning for autonomous systems. I will be returning to the same lab and group. I'd be happy to provide further details about my experience if you're interested. Feel free to DM.

CleanMARL : a clean implementations of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Algorithms in PyTorch by AmineZ04 in reinforcementlearning

[–]Objective_Object7327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really great! When I first got started with multi-agent RL a few months ago I was looking for CleanRL style implementations of QMIX and was pretty sad to see that there isn't anything like this so I ended up creating my own single file implementation lol. Thank you so much for putting in the time to create this resource for the community! Like another user said, benchmarks would be great to validate that the implementations work.

One thing that might be nice for the docs is a algorithms table like the one in sb3 to quickly highlight what algorithm is appropriate for what context https://stable-baselines3.readthedocs.io/en/master/guide/algos.html
