Starting September 1, 2026, TMLR will no longer be considering survey papers for review. This is in part due to limited reviewer resources and significant required labour for reviewing surveys, as well as the evolving role of surveys in our field.
Some of the TMLR Editors in Chief are doing a meet-and-greet tomorrow at #ICML2026!
July 7 at 11 AM in The Platz
Come and:
- discuss new policies (submission quotas, AI reviewer)
- pick up stickers if you're an AE, expert reviewer, etc.
- just hang out!
TMLR will be experimenting with an AI reviewer, solely to judge submissions against the soundness criterion ("are the claims supported by accurate, clear, and convincing evidence?"). More details in the following blog post.
We're pleased to announce our newest Editor-in-Chief, Yoshitomo Matsubara (@yoshitomo_cs)! He started his term July 1, 2026. He has long been one of our most committed and thoughtful Action Editors, and we know he'll do a great job as a leader of the journal.
