Machine Learning Research

1. Project Topic

Huggingface Datasets
Kaggle Datasets
Wikipedia has a list of machine learning text datasets, tabulated with useful information such as dataset size
Datahub has lots of datasets, though not all of it is Machine Learning focused
Microsoft Research has a collection of datasets (look under the ‘Dataset directory’ tab)
SOTA NLP:
A small list of well-known standard datasets for common NLP tasks:
- machinelearningmastery
An alphabetical list of free or public domain text datasets:
- nlpdatasets
Datasets for machine translation:
- statmt
Syntactic corpora for many languages:
- universaldependencies
A script to search arXiv papers for a keyword, and extract important information such as performance metrics on a task:
- huyenchip

StanfordNLP, a Python library providing tokenization, tagging, parsing, and other capabilities.
Software from the Stanford NLP Group
NLTK, a lightweight Natural Language Toolkit package in Python.
spaCy, another Python package that can do preprocessing, but also includes neural models (e.g. Language Models)

Machine Learning
- NeurIPS
  - Neural Information Processing Systems (formerly abbreviated NIPS). NeurIPS has gotten huge over the past few years as AI has become so important. Has a focus on neural networks, but not exclusively.
- ICML
  - International Conference on Machine Learning. Has a general machine learning focus.
- ICLR
  - International Conference on Learning Representations. ICLR was really the first conference focused on deep learning. It’s called “learning representations” because the motivation behind deep learning is to automatically learn higher-level features, or representations, that summarize data in useful ways. Deep Learning describes the structure of our current best solution to the problem of learning these representations.

  - Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. AAAI is a little more applications focused, and a little less theoretical than some of the other AI conferences.
- ICANN
- IJCAI
- UAI
