The Journal of Machine Learning Research (usually abbreviated JMLR), is a scientific journal
focusing on machine learning
, a subfield of artificial intelligence
. It was founded in 2000.
The journal was founded as an open-access
alternative to the journal Machine Learning
. In 2001, forty editors of Machine Learning resigned in order to support JMLR, saying that in the era of the internet
, it was detrimental for researchers to continue publishing their papers in expensive journals with pay-access archives. Instead, they wrote, they supported the model of JMLR, in which authors retained copyright over their papers and archives were freely available on the internet.
