Are there any histories of the MNIST digits dataset out there from an anthropological, STS, or critical data studies perspective?

There's this #NeurIPS2019 paper that gets into a thinner history of some of the pre-processing behind the dataset: https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2019/file/51c68dc084cb0b8467eafad1330bce66-Paper.pdf

3 weeks ago, Amadeus' AI & Technology Research department will be represented in the prestigious #NeurIPS2019 conference (Neural Information Processing Systems), thanks to one of our brilliant researchers, Alix Lhéritier, who will present his work (with Frederic Cazals) about Low-Complexity #Nonparametric #Bayesian #OnlinePrediction with #UniversalGuarantees.

Our mission is: Advancing #AI to make #travel a better, seamless and more sustainable experience.

Today at #NeurIPS2019 Safety and Robustness in Decision-Making workshop, an accidental tragicomic installation art expression of how oversaturated the field is - - despite being huge, all wall space in room for posters ran out and some had to be put up out in hallway.

A fun little demonstration of the scale of #NeurIPS2019 - video of people heading into keynote talk.

This is 9 minutes condensed down to 15 seconds, and this is not even close to all the attendees!

Cool talk by Bengio at #NeurIPS2019 about directions for DL to tackle higher level reasoning

I got to ask a question! How do we measure progress? A: first datasets, ultimately move towards agent perspective in AI & environments.

Agreed, what we at @[email protected]
are all about 😁

Most eye catching industry booth award at #NeurIPS2019 easily goes to @[email protected]. Wish there were more fun robots or live demos around...
Join PAI at NeurIPS 2019 - The Partnership on AI

Held on December 8-14, 2019 in Vancouver, Canada, the Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) Conference is the largest international AI gathering in the world. This year, PAI is involved in a number of workshops and events aligned with our mission of responsible AI, with a focus on promoting diversity and inclusion. Ensuring the participation of …

The Partnership on AI

yup, it was that kind of week.

shout out to all fellow 'almost had it' research teams out there, let's remember pain is part of the process 👨‍💻🏋️‍♂️🤖 #NeurIPS2019
