Request for literature podcast by Jeremy! šŸ˜ø

Hi! Thanks so much for these great courses! Iā€™ve just finished my first pass of parts 1 and 2, and will be going back through the material at least once or twice!

I was wondering, would @jeremy consider doing a regular podcast of his literature review, such as the one at the start of Lesson 11? :smile_cat: Some reasons why this would be awesome:

  • Jeremy is a great presenter (obviously).
  • He has an amazing ā€œBSā€ filter and is able to quickly zoom in on the parts that matter.
  • It would greatly pre-process the # of papers to go through; I personally might have time for 1-2 papers a week, certainly not keeping up with the whole arxiv ML output.
  • It would really help people to get better at reading papers, because they could go over the paper already knowing what it says, which Jeremy recommended several times.

I know @jeremy and @rachel already have so many things on their plate, but anyway, I thought I would pitch the idea!

Cheers

Thanks! I think itā€™s a nice idea. Weā€™ll be re-doing part 1 in a couple of months, so will be updating some research suggestions then. The idea of a ā€˜papers podcastā€™ is interesting, although it might not happen until weā€™ve gone through parts 1 and 2 again and have enough folks finish them that thereā€™s a larger group of people interested.

Thereā€™s a great blog here: https://blog.acolyer.org/ . Not just DL, but the papers are all interesting (IMHO).

Thatā€™s great news! Thanks for the reply, and for the excellent link!

Shameless self plug. I maintain a blog where I talk about/explain very recent DL papers. https://medium.com/@harshsayshi

Itā€™s very good!

Hi @jeremy! Are you still considering a literature review podcast after parts 1 and 2? :crossed_fingers:t4:

Reviving this idea, subliminal messaging for jeremy in 2019 :smile_cat:

@msp
Francisco (@lesscomfortable) and I have started a ā€œpaper discussionā€ themed blog series.

Although Iā€™m pretty sure it wonā€™t be remotely as great as Jeremyā€™s presentations (speaking for myself), but Iā€™d definitely invite any feedback for my posts both for what and how much I cover, weā€™re trying to cover the overview of papers (for me: its in no fixed order).

Franciscoā€™s blog and (probably) worse of the two my blog series

Maybe 2020 is the year, who knows :grin:
