<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.aistats.org/"><img height="187" width="463" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.aistats.org/image/cadiz.jpg"></a><strong>T</strong>he next <a target="_blank" href="https://www.aistats.org/">AISTATS conference</a> is taking place in <a target="_blank" href="https://xianblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/off-to-florida/">Florida</a>, Fort Lauderdale, on April 20-22. (The website keeps the same address one conference after another, which means all my links to the <a target="_blank" href="https://xianblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/13/aistats-2016-2/">AISTATS 2016</a> conference in <a target="_blank" href="https://xianblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/13/aistats-2016-2/">Cadiz</a> are no longer valid. And that the above sunset from Florida is named… cadiz.jpg!) The deadline for paper submission is October 13 and there are two novel features:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Fast-track for Electronic Journal of Statistics</b>: Authors of a small number of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version for fast-track publication in a special issue of the <a target="_blank" href="https://xianblog.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/savage-dickey-published/">Electronic Journal of Statistics</a> (EJS) after the AISTATS decisions are out. Details on how to prepare such extended journal paper submission will be announced after the AISTATS decisions.</li>
<li><b>Review-sharing with NIPS</b>: Papers previously submitted to <a target="_blank" href="https://xianblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/15/nips-2014/">NIPS</a> 2016 are required to declare their previous NIPS paper ID, and optionally supply a one-page letter of revision (similar to a revision letter to journal editors; anonymized) in supplemental materials. AISTATS reviewers will have access to the previous anonymous NIPS reviews. Other than this, all submissions will be treated equally.</li>
</ol>
<p>I find both initiatives worth applauding and replicating in other machine-learning conferences. Particularly in regard with the recent debate we had at <a target="_blank" href="https://xianblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/08/game-of-spawns/">Annals of Statistics</a>.</p>
