Google DeepMind's Timothy Nguyen proposes automated LLM triage for arXiv as submissions face five-week delays

@IAmTimNguyen @arxiv Wait, is this specifically true for CS or for other domains as well?

@IAmTimNguyen @arxiv Rewrote the Kirchhoff diffraction integral in position spacetime (as opposed to the usual frequency space); discovered a generalized Poisson-Arago spot. Posted it to physics.optics. @arxiv took 2 weeks to send us back a terse response to reject the paper.

@klindt_david @IAmTimNguyen @arxiv @ChristianInte16 Yep, can confirm. It's usually a mix-up with the primary category. we'd picked AI at first when it should've been CV. Just reach out through arXiv's support portal (https://arxiv-org.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1) that's what fixed it for us :)

@IAmTimNguyen @arxiv Notice it made sure to state that publication in a journal does not guarantee publication on the arXiv.

Yes, paper is currently under review; but I am worried about freedom of expression and inquiry in physics. The arXiv has become a de facto monopoly on physics publishing.

@IAmTimNguyen @arxiv happened to @ChristianInte16 recently

@IAmTimNguyen @arxiv The full content of their objection is in the screenshot. I fear there's not even enough substance to judge. OTOH, I need to get my paper peer-reviewed in order to be posted on the **pre-print** arXiv?

@Yi_Zen_Chu @arxiv Ouch. Is there merit to their assessment?

@Yi_Zen_Chu @arxiv Is it under review somewhere? Come back and see if arxiv will honor hosting the paper once it’s accepted?

@star_stufff @arxiv Unsure that’s why I’m asking. This is my 2nd time for a long hold and both times was http://cs.AI

@IAmTimNguyen @arxiv i submitted one on 5/19. Already 6.5 weeks. Still on hold.

@Yi_Zen_Chu @arxiv Oh wow. That is unfathomable.
