FAQ
This page consists of some frequently asked questions about the challenge.
Where is MLRC 2024? As we described in our announcement blog post, historically we have had one year backdated, as in MLRC 2023 actually happens in 2024, due to incorporating papers published in 2023. As we move on to be an in-person conference, to closer align with the format of ML conferences and also in favor of broadening our scope, we are therefore dropping the version 2024 and moving directly to MLRC 2025.
Is the submission double blind? Yes, the paper should be double blind, according to TMLR’s submission policies. You should include the code for review, either by adding anonymized codebase in the Supplementary Materials, or link to an Anonymous Github URL.
What is the format of the paper? Please consult TMLR’s author guidelines.
I need an extension to submit my paper. Our deadline is a recommended date to submit to TMLR. You can still submit post this deadline. It is upto you to ensure we get your decisions in our system by the cutoff deadline of June 20th, 2025.
My paper hasn’t received any reviews on TMLR for some time. What should I do? It is up to you to followup with TMLR Action Editors if your paper hasn’t recieved reviews in time. If your Action Editor is unresponsive, you should reach out to the TMLR Editors-In-Chiefs.
