I'm happy to find my young friend PK's paper accepted in the coming GECCO Kyoto this year. Congratulations! Some familiar names from Czech and Poland are on the list of papers. It is a great news. Unfortunately, my paper is not counted onto that this time; it must have been difficult to appeal to reviewers with bio-centric content and methodology in that pure AI audience. Anyway, I must go step forward to find some place of "a feather" this year.


Some of my colleagues have already exited from conferences and moved to journals and transactions for themselves. It is a way to go out. But, I don't follow such that way. I don't blame them, and understand their situations well. What I would like to do is to bring intelligent diversity in academia. I love conferences and journals both. These days, I feel chocked with papers which discuss too similar topics or problems to one another are assigned as review tasks and moreover and counted in the list of acceptance. A couple of years before, we could enjoy more papers of variety on challenging topics.


Are we in the time of anti-diversity?
