TMLR finds authors struggle to explain their submitted papers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Transactions on Machine Learning Research (TMLR) contacted the authors of ten papers that were initially slated for desk rejection to gauge their understanding of their own work. The findings indicated a concerning lack of author engagement and comprehension, with several authors withdrawing submissions, being unavailable, or failing to answer basic questions about their papers. Only one paper's authors could answer all questions, though a significant flaw was still identified in that submission. AI
