Super relatable. Little administrative tasks and emails are like death by 1000 papercuts.

PhD ML Market Evolution: From Leaders to Specialized Contributors
By
–
It'll take time, but I think it's possible. Currently, everyone finishing a PhD in ML is expected to be a "leader." But as demand for people with expertise in ML grows, there will be more space for "followers." So there will be incentives for being 3rd author on a bunch of papers

Peer Review Process: Author Responses in Academic Evaluation
By
–
I totally agree that the reviewers should read author responses and take them into account in their evaluation (otherwise, what's the point). I don't think the reviewers need interact more with the authors after that point (though they should with the other reviewers and AC)

ICML2023 Sets Reviewer Expectations on Author Response Engagement
By
–
#ICML2023 draws a line in the sand: reviewers are expected to read author response, but aren't required to engage with them further. Very sensible position. Reviewing is a volunteer position. It shouldn't turn into a full-time job arguing the merits of a paper with the authors.

ML papers should be trivial theory papers complicated
By
–
When writing an ML paper, it should be so trivial that all reviewers understand everything. When writing a theory paper, it should be so complicated that no reviewer understands everything. https://

Building Belonging in Computer Science Communities
By

There are many ways to support fellow computer scientists beyond the ways you mention. One of the most important ones is to make people feel like they belong. I can imagine it's easy to feel like an outsider when few people in your field look like you.

ML Citation Bias Doesn’t Define Research Excellence
By
–
Yes. Correspondingly, pretty much everyone here is going to be senior. But I know some young researchers who I would consider "top." Also, a strong field bias. ML has many more citations than… everything else right now. That doesn't mean ML researchers are inherently better.

Fields Medalist Mirzakhani’s H-Index and Academic Hiring Standards
By
–
Fields Medalist Maryam Mirzakhani has an h-index of "only" 20. I know people getting jobs in Computer Science at top schools with even lower h-indices. https://

H-index limitations for ranking top CS researchers
By

I agree with the latter sentiment. But I don't know about implying that a ranking by h-index says anything about the top researchers in CS.

Historical perspective on adapting to machine learning advances

This placard (
