Google is creating a peer-reviewed journal for machine learning research, with GitHub repositories for each Creative Commons licensed article:
On Monday, Google announced plans to launch a new peer review journal and "ecosystem" for machine learning. Writing on the Google Research Blog, Shan Carter and Chris Olah described the project as follows:
"Science isn't just about discovering new results. It's also about human understanding. Scientists need to develop notations, analogies, visualizations, and explanations of ideas. This human dimension of science isn't a minor side project. It's deeply tied to the heart of science.
"That's why, in collaboration with OpenAI, DeepMind, YC Research, and others, we're excited to announce the launch of Distill, a new open science journal and ecosystem supporting human understanding of machine learning. Distill is an independent organization, dedicated to fostering a new segment of the research community.

Ummm... distill.pub... are you sure it's a good name for a scientific journal?
I mean, would I be to say "I'm heading to distill pub, who's coming with me?", what is the most likely meaning you'll get from it?
