JMLR: Workshop and Conference Proceedings

JMLR Workshop and Conference Proceedings Frequently Asked Questions

The JMLR Workshop and Conference Proceedings are very much a community effort. Thanks are particularly due to Isabelle Guyon for working closely with us in preparing early volumes, Nicola Talbot for preparing the LaTeX class file and Leslie Pack Kaelbling for supporting the launch in the first place.

How do I publish my proceedings with you?

Email the series editor with your planned event. You need to provide brief CVs of the organizers and an overview of the subject matter. Potential proceedings are judged on the basis of the appropriateness of the material, the perceived quality of the workshop and the track record of the organizers.

What Volume Number will my Proceedings be?

When you are close to finalizing the proceedings, email the series editor. He will give you a volume number by allocating from those currently available.

What if I want a Paper Copy?

You are free to organize a hard copy of your proceedings for your workshop, although JMLR does not provide the support for this. Previous editors have made use of Microtome. See the Challenges in Machine Learning series here which is made up of volumes from JMLR W&CP. Nicola Talbot has created a LaTeX package for creating books from the proceedings.

Should the Call for Papers be Before or After the Workshop?

This is up to you. You can make the proceedings a pre-proceedings or a post-proceedings. Some conferences, like AISTATS 2010, do the call before the workshop and put the proceedings on line in time for the event. Other will finalize their proceedings after the event.

What is the Style File for the Proceedings?

There are two style files, a two column style file (see for example the AISTATS volumes) or a one column style file similar to the standard JMLR style. As of 2010 Nicola Talbot has kindly put together a LaTeX package for these styles. It is available here. We don't support preparation systems other than LaTeX.

Software for Supporting Proceedings Preparation

As of 2012 Nicola Talbot has prepared a Java Application for assisting in preparing a JMLR proceedings. It is available here. Many thanks to Nicola.

What do I Need to Provide for the Proceedings?

You should appoint a publications chair (who could also be one of the editors, but needn't be: for larger conferences it is often a separate role, but for smaller workshops it tends to be an editor). The publications chair will be responsible for compiling the proceedings.

The proceedings are provided in the format detailed here.

As well as the papers in the format described above, you will need to provide permission to publish forms from your authors. Please distribute the form found here to your authors. Have them sign a copy and send you a scanned PDF. The scanned PDF should be named with the convention given above with the suffice Permission e.g. turner10aPermission.pdf. These files should be placed in a separate directory from the other material called vXpermissions and sent the series editor.
