Stat/Prob ML Researchers Seek New Venues Amid LLM Dominance in Top Conferences

A researcher in statistical and probabilistic machine learning is observing a significant shift in top-tier ML conferences, with LLM-based works and agentic approaches dominating poster sessions and workshops. This trend has led the researcher to question where the broader statistical and probabilistic ML community can best present their work, considering venues like AISTATS and UAI as potential alternatives to the traditionally prestigious conferences like ICLR and NeurIPS. AI
