Reply to comment by Red-Portal in [R] difference between UAI and AISTATS ? by ArmandDerech

Do you think AISTATS is as prestigious as AAAI? The conference itself is much smaller, i.e., 3 days, single track. AISTATS does not even appear in CSRankings, while AAAI and ICLR do.

Depends on the area of focus. If you're a Bayesian machine learning, statistical learning, optimization person, AISTATS is the way to go. It's not just about prestige, it's just a better experience. The review is less noisy, the venue itself is more focused. It just feels like home. If you're more of an AI person than ML, than AAAI is probably more suited.
