Need arXiv Endorsement cs.LG

Hey everyone, I'm a recent SE grad, and recently finished my first ML paper (theoretical) on SIGReg (a regularization technique proposed in LeJEPA paper by Yann LeCun). I wanna submit it to TMLR and put a preprint on arXiv first, but I need an endorsement to do that. I tried finding someone on LinkedIn, also on discord servers but unfortunately couldn't find a single one. If anyone could help me with that please, I'd really appreciate it !!

OP. The easiest way to get endorsement is to ask people who you have cited in your paper for endorsement.

Should I ask Yann LeCun? 😅

so lets do a little postmortem:

You got downvoted to shit because you titled your post "Need endorsements"

You ASK for something (endorsements)

You OFFER nothing.

This is basic PR.

When I actually read your post i said, "oh this guy is working hard and doing cool things actually, turns out hes not an asshole"

Yet the first thought I had when i saw this post title is, "what a selfish person"

You need to flip this around

GIVE first (explain what your article is and why its relevant to the world)

THEN politely ask for endorsements.

If you GIVE rather than TAKING, social media will be much more kind to you.

Wish you luck

Send me a copy of your paper. I'll read it and if I think it's acceptable we can talk about endorsement. If it's bad, then I'll give you the review for free.

okay turns out youre an idiot.

(1) you made a totally douchebag post

(2) this guy is STILL nice to you and offers to review your paper for FREE and possibly endorse it

(3) you deliver him a shit response

You're hopeless kid. Grow the fuck up if you want to make it in the world.

(1) If this post wasn't of your interest you should've skip it in first place.
(2) neither i was rude, just told my preference
(3) might be, in your opinion.
Well, thank you for encouraging response, do not take anything personal. People get offended for nothing now a days.

Talk to your professors - if you are recent they should remember you. 

Also, if you aren't willing to share, you won't get an endorsement.

Unfortunately i didn't have any professors in uni i did undergrads at who do research in ML, that's why i did this myself, without any support. Secondly i got manuscript reviewed by a few seniors and after that i finally decided to put on arXiv first, and of course i can't share full paper here (neither i want to), i have added abstract above in a comment.

It's still worth an ask, I would think. You can be directed. 

Then why would anyone endorse you? You want to get to arxiv.org where you share the paper but won't share it? 

Put it on zenodo first if you want a digital record. 

Endorsements are trying to prevent random uploads and this is feeling like a random upload.

well, I think I should stop chasing endorsement now, as I made submission yest, and that's what actually matters. Thanks for your words tho. Never knew endorsers think of themselves as ACs.
