Use when deciding whether a manuscript fits ICML, choosing the main research track versus the ICML Position Papers track or another venue (NeurIPS, ICLR, AISTATS, UAI, COLT, MLSys, TMLR, JMLR), or rerouting an ML paper based on its contribution type, strength of evidence, theory-versus-empirical balance, and interest to the broad ICML machine-learning community. Use before committing effort to an ICML submission.
