I’ve talked to a few people who have suggested journal or conference ideas, but they never happened. I think it was mostly a mix of not knowing how to do it well and (mostly) they were busy with other stuff. Someone probably actually needs to take initiative on this if we want our research to be more ‘academic’.
Regardless of whether a journal is created or not, I’ve certainly wished I had more academic collaborators or someone who could teach me how to publish work that ends up being accepted within the ML community. As an indepedent researcher, it feels like the gap is too large and causes too much friction to figure things out and get started.
Yeah, I think it requires some specialist skills, time, and a bit of initiative. But it’s not deeply super hard.
Sadly, I think learning how to write papers for ML conferences is pretty time consuming. It’s one of the main things a phd student spends time learning in the first year or two of their phd. I do think there’s a lot that’s genuinely useful about that practice though, it’s not just jumping through hoops.
