This report documents ideas for improving the field of machine learning, which arose from discussions at the ML Retrospectives workshop at NeurIPS 2019. The goal of the report is to disseminate these ideas more broadly, and in turn encourage continuing discussion about how the field could improve along these axes. We focus on topics that were most discussed at the workshop: incentives for encouraging alternate forms of scholarship, re-structuring the review process, participation from academia and industry, and how we might better train computer scientists as scientists.

This is the Proceedings of NeurIPS 2018 Workshop on Machine Learning for the Developing World: Achieving Sustainable Impact, held in Montreal, Canada on December 8, 2018
This is the proceedings of the 3rd ML4D workshop which was help in Vancouver, Canada on December 13, 2019 as part of the Neural Information Processing Systems conference.
These are the proceedings of the 4th workshop on Machine Learning for the Developing World (ML4D), held as part of the Thirty-fourth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) on Saturday, December 12th 2020.
Science meets Engineering in Deep Learning took place in Vancouver as part of the Workshop section of NeurIPS 2019. As organizers of the workshop, we created the following report in an attempt to isolate emerging topics and recurring themes that have been presented throughout the event. Deep learning can still be a complex mix of art and engineering despite its tremendous success in recent years. The workshop aimed at gathering people across the board to address seemingly contrasting challenges in the problems they are working on. As part of the call for the workshop, particular attention has been given to the interdependence of architecture, data, and optimization that gives rise to an enormous landscape of design and performance intricacies that are not well-understood. This year, our goal was to emphasize the following directions in our community: (i) identify obstacles in the way to better models and algorithms; (ii) identify the general trends from which we would like to build scientific and potentially theoretical understanding; and (iii) the rigorous design of scientific experiments and experimental protocols whose purpose is to resolve and pinpoint the origin of mysteries while ensuring reproducibility and robustness of conclusions. In the event, these topics emerged and were broadly discussed, matching our expectations and paving the way for new studies in these directions. While we acknowledge that the text is naturally biased as it comes through our lens, here we present an attempt to do a fair job of highlighting the outcome of the workshop.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, and we, as machine learning experts, may wonder how we can help. Here we describe how machine learning can be a powerful tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping society adapt to a changing climate. From smart grids to disaster management, we identify high impact problems where existing gaps can be filled by machine learning, in collaboration with other fields. Our recommendations encompass exciting research questions as well as promising business opportunities. We call on the machine learning community to join the global effort against climate change.
