News Feature: What are the limits of deep learning?

Nice article summarizing recent progress in deep learning. It can be renamed into «Recent progress in deep learning leaves DL critics searching for new things to criticize».

State-of-the-art (SOTA) collection of Paperswithcode

A great site, worth spreading word about: Papers With Code now includes 950+ ML tasks, 500+ evaluation tables (including SOTA results) and 8500+ papers with code. Probably the largest collection of NLP tasks, including 140+ tasks and 100 datasets.

Text-based game to feel yourself in not so distant future where real AI exists.

We all now, how DS and #AI products affect our life and how they actually influence our lifestyle. But in the future our relationship will become more tense. It is rather nice experience to play this game, not only because it reminds of old-school games, but also because it looks shookingly possible.

On the concept of 'intellectual debt'

There is technical debt — when you know you should rewrite some stuff, or implement some features, but they don't seem critical at the moment. So article introduces a concept of 'intellectual debt', which resies with more broad and common use of #MachineLearning and #DeepLearning (specially, the latter). What happens when AI gives us seemingly correct answers that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves, without any theory to explain them?

Critics: AI competitions don’t produce useful models

Post, suggesting a viewpoint that AI competitions never seem to lead to products, how the one can overfit on a hold out test set, and why #Imagenet results since the mid-2010s are suspect.

​​What we learned from NeurIPS 2019 data

x4 growth since 2014
21.6% acceptance rate

Takeaways:

1. No free-loader problem: Relatively few papers are submitted where none of the authors invited to participate in the review process accepted the invitation
2. Unclear how to rapidly filter papers prior to full review: Allowing for early desk rejects by ACs is unlikely to have a significant impact on reviewer load without producing inappropriate decisions. Likewise, the eagerness of reviewers to review a particular paper is not a strong signal, either.
3. No clear evidence that review quality as measured by length is lower for NeurIPS: NeurIPS is surprisingly not much different from other conferences of smaller sizes when it comes to review length.
4. Impact of engagement in rebuttal/discussion period: Overall engagement seemed to be higher than in 2018.
