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.

    What happened to code.google.com? [*]

    What happened to Google's not-invented-here syndrome?

    [*] I know, it got canceled, like many other Google products. Google is a company you can't just rely on.
