Reply to comment by Fenzik in [D] Found very similar paper to my submitted paper on Arxiv by [deleted]

My supervisor advised me against it. She’s not a big fan of putting papers there before they’re published.

I disagree with your supervisor and your post pretty much illustrates why!

I work in Astronomy, not in ML, but review first and arxiv later is how most people work in Europe. I typically don't find european arxiv papers that are not accepted for publication already. It's different for US papers. US groups are much more aggressive at pushing their work out, but that also means more people getting wrong information when the paper changes significantly in the review process.

I did work in an Astronomy adjacent field, and European researchers in our area all submitted to arxiv first, just like US groups.

We can't afford that in Machine Learning by the time your paper has passed the review process it's going to be outdated.

I think that your supervisor is using arxiv wrong, and giving you bad advice on how to use arxiv.

It's a preprint server, meant to publish preprints.

That begs the question, what are good ways to use a preprint server to further your academic career

I feel like everyone in the new generation has this happen once, learns from it, and has started pre-printing everything...
