For papers accepted during the first cycle, the ICML program committee will recommend a small subset of excellent papers to be considered for publication at JMLR through a fast-track reviewing process. Therein, authors of selected papers are invited to submit an expanded full version at the same time that the conference camera-ready version is submitted. The expanded version will be reviewed again by the same Area Chair, two reviewers who originally reviewed the conference version of the recommended paper, plus one additional reviewer who will be determined by the AC. We expect that this fast-track approach will significantly reduce the journal review time. It also provides a more consistent evaluation as the processing of the full journal paper and the conference paper will be better aligned. The journal version may still be rejected if it does not meet the standards of JMLR.<br><br>Authors will be asked during their ICML paper submission to indicate whether or not they want their submission to be considered for the JMLR fast-track.
