I turned my dog Jackies Brain into a working AI [P]
Hey everyone,I’m a researcher at MIT and this whole thing started completely by accident. My dog Jackie had to do a couple of veterinary MRI scans last year for a minor issue that luckily turned out fine. While she was already in the scanner the vet team (who are honestly the…

Binary noise classification using CRNN mean teacher algo [R]
Hi all, so im making a binary noise classification model. I have training data with timestamps of noise and some with verified some with unverified. The performance parameters are F1 and Dice scores and their combined score. I am following AST backbone (Stage 1 ast frozen and…

Localized Neural learning vs backpropagation [D]
I’ve recently started exploring machine learning by building neural networks from scratch and studying the underlying mathematics. I come from a physics and mathematics background, and as I’ve become more familiar with backpropagation, I’ve grown increasingly interested in…

PhD students, how ya feeling? [D]
All seems a bit pointless now. Either pump out AI papers and neglect your own development, or take it slow and fall behind in the publishing race. I already have two papers made largely without LLMs (still seeking publication), but it's hard to resist just vibing the third from…

Weird pattern in the ICLR papers I was assigned to review [D]
I was assigned 3 ICLR papers to review. I generally consider myself a pretty nice reviewer but...all 3 of them are slop. Unfiltered Claude slop. The language is so awful it is almost impossible to read. Unfortunately, I imagine this is common among "top" conference submissions…

On writing papers [D]
Hey all, I was curious about your take on writing papers. I see many different styles of writing, and I am kind of lost myself about what the best way to write is for a NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML conference audience. Do you have any tips or thoughts you'd like to share regarding writing?…

NeurIPS attendance and travel funds [D]
Hi everyone. Since Neurips is my first A* conference, I just wanted to know few things from experienced researchers. Since travel and accommodation account for majority of expenses, how professionals and PhD guys cover the expenses in the absence of travel grant or limited…

ICLR reviewers, are you using AI to review papers or still doing it the old-school way? [D]
Quick question for those currently reviewing papers for ICLR: Are you using AI tools to assist with your reviews, or are you still doing everything the old way?   submitted by   /u/Hope999991 [link]   [comments]

Any Advice for what Industry is looking for in ML PhDs? [D]
I'm a first year ML PhD at a T5 ML program in the US. I managed to get a first author paper accepted to NeurIPS Main Track last month and thought I'd start applying for PhD research internships since I saw a lot of them required a "top" venue publication. But I've just been…

Is human evaluation through surveys common in ML research?[R][D]
Hi, I am a master's student working on a project where our fine-tuned AI model provides feedback on images. We are also comparing its feedback with outputs from Qwen/OpenAI APIs on the same images. My postdoc and PhD mentors suggested creating a Google Form where participants…

AI peer review tool for CVPR, ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS papers [D]
Came across this GitHub project called Paper Review Harness. Thought it might be useful for people preparing ML research papers. It uses 30 different AI reviewer personas to simulate the kind of feedback a paper might receive at conferences like CVPR, ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS.…

Machine Learning Tutorial/Workshop [D]
This post is to let people know about a workshop/tutorial on Machine Learning that will run on the (blue) math discord server: discord.gg/maths . The place is nice, people are cool and helpful, and as you can see it is a mathematics server, so the learning environment is quite…

Got desk rejected at TMLR with no idea why [D]
My paper cited and even built up on a niche topic that was accepted in 2024. The template and everything was also followed properly. Sure, it wasn't too novel, but it was damn rigorous, robust and reproducible. Still, I got desk rejected within 2 days. 2 days. With no comment. I…

How's ICLR reviewing going for you? Any observations? [D]
I know it's early but I've been browsing through ICLR OpenReview and I see a lot of good papers! Maybe the first big conference with automated research submission and it is increasingly becoming harder to detect AI-written text - how are you dealing with this? How are you even…

What's up with google scholar citations ? [D]
Early-stage researcher, and yes, I get excited about people citing my work. I was browsing through arXiv for accepted NeurIPS papers, and I saw multiple papers citing my work. These papers have been there for months, but Google Scholar still has not updated its citations, and it…

Is a second MSc worth it? [D]
I’m an AI research engineer based in Africa with about 3 YoEs in RL, LLMs, post-training, and systems efficiency (CUDA/vLLM). However, on a smaller scale because of compute limits. My undergrad and Master’s are both in communications engineering. I did a 5th-year Master's at my…

What ai is best to operate a system from screen video [p]
I have working programmatic control over a system, I can send inputs reliably and capture the screen as visual feedback. The control/feedback loop is already done. I need something that can learn from visual information, remember what it has seen and been taught, and get better…

Has machine learning research gotten more "wordy"? [D]
I feel like I am unable to digest most machine learning research these days. The primary reason is because I feel like they have gotten tremendously wordy. I find it not uncommon to find research papers consisting of 20+, 30+, 40+ pages of pure texts. An example is…

ICLR submissions are broken. Maybe a prediction market? [P]
ICLR has received >40k submissions this year and it is becoming quite difficult to make sense of all of the papers (including a lot of AI generated ones). Larry Wasserman called for “A World Without Referees” back in 2012 [1], but peer review hasn’t changed much since. I built…

Are .ipynb notebooks already outdated in the agentic era? [D]
I am a data scientist who started working in the industry before the LLM revolution. Back then, Jupyter Notebooks were a perfect fit for the classical DS pipeline: EDA -> data prep -> fit -> eval -> tune -> save model artefact and notebook. Lately, I have been thinking a lot…

Help With Choosing Hardware [P]
​ I am going to fine-tune a satire model, with the base model being `Qwen3.5-14B-Base`. The dataset has ~18000 examples, most of which are pretty long and do not align with the model's internal knowledge (they have incorrect answers to facts), so I needed to do a full…

Woven by Toyota MLE Interview - PyTorch Debugging [D]
I have an upcoming interview with Woven by Toyota for an MLE perception role. I was told the round would be focused on ML coding/debugging. Specifically, I was told to focus on Python fundamentals, PyTorch, tensor operations and dimensions/shapes, common model-training code…

Clarification ARR Commitment [D]
I want to commit my ARR paper to EACL 2027 and I see I have to attach a pdf. Should I address the reviewer comments/suggestions (minor things) in this version already or wait for camera ready if accepted? I thought I just had to provide the link to the reviews but now I am…
