Aims & Scope

The Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR) provides an international forum for the electronic and paper publication of high-quality scholarly articles in all areas of machine learning.

All published papers are freely available online.

JMLR has a commitment to rigorous yet rapid reviewing.

JMLR seeks previously unpublished papers on machine learning that contain: new principled algorithms with sound empirical validation, and with justification of theoretical, psychological, or biological nature; experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insight into the design and behavior of learning in intelligent systems; accounts of applications of existing techniques that shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of the methods; formalization of new learning tasks (e.g., in the context of new applications) and of methods for assessing performance on those tasks; development of new analytical frameworks that advance theoretical studies of practical learning methods; computational models of data from natural learning systems at the behavioral or neural level; or extremely well-written surveys of existing work.
