TMLR's 2025 annual report! The word of the year is growth: whether it's our number of submissions, published papers, or reviewers, pretty much everything has increased ~50%. EXCEPT: our review period, which is still shorter than NeurICMLR (91 vs 126 days) Read on for more! 1/n

2025 was a blockbuster year for TMLR -- big growth from 2024, but also cementing our J2C partnership with NeurICMLR, and launching Beyond PDF. Also, cutting the cord: with the founding EiCs completing their tenure, I am now the old guy 👴 Check out the annual report for more!
