As someone who isn't in the know, I found this[1] Forbes article about the journal. Forbes portrays the opposition as opposing the fact that it's a closed access journal, but are there other points of contention that weren't reported in the article?

- freeone3000 8y agoThat's enough. ML research is posted on arxiv and presented in open conferences. You can paywall your slide deck but not your paper. If pay-to-play journals get even an inch, they'll try to take everything.
- mmmmpancakes 8y agoWhat does “open conferences” mean? Last time I checked, fees for participating in ML related conferences are very high (compared to registration fees for conferences in academic fields with less hype). This makes them less open because cost is a financial barrier to participation.

- msfalcon 8y agoThe proceedings are freely available online and most sessions are freely casted. Attending the conference in person has surely some cost!
