  • The post asks whether researchers have submitted machine learning papers to ACM journals such as TOPML and TIST.
  • It specifically requests timelines for the review process, as well as an assessment of the review quality.
  • The author also wants to understand how ACM ML journals compare in difficulty and review standards versus other venues like TMLR.
  • The content is framed as a community question rather than a report of a new publication or policy change.

Have any of you submitted ML articles to ACM journals (eg. TOPML or TIST)? How long did the process take, and were the reviews high-quality? How does it compare to other journals (eg. TMLR) in terms of difficulty? Thanks.
