Deep Dive
An undergraduate from a small liberal arts college, with limited advising, asks whether the IEEE Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing is reputable and worthwhile to submit to compared to workshops at A* venues like ICML or NeurIPS. They note their current research likely isn't top-conference level.
Key Points
- IEEE MLSP is a specialized workshop with ~30-40% acceptance rate, reputable in signal processing.
- Compared to ICML/NeurIPS workshops, MLSP has less prestige but is more accessible for early-career researchers.
- For undergrads with limited advising, MLSP offers a viable path to a peer-reviewed publication.
Why It Matters
Helps students without elite advising identify realistic, reputable venues for their first research publications.
