The Conversational Intelligence Challenge

NIPS 2017 Live Competition

Recent advances in machine learning have sparked a renewed interest for dialogue systems in the research community. In addition to the growing real-world applications, the ability to converse is closely related to the overall goal of AI. This NIPS Live Competition aims to unify the community around the challenging task: building systems capable of intelligent conversations. Teams are expected to submit dialogue systems able to carry out intelligent and natural conversations about specific news articles with humans. At the final stage of the competition participants, as well as volunteers, will be randomly matched with a bot or a human to chat and evaluate answers of a peer. We expect the competition to have two major outcomes: (1) a measure of quality of state-of-the-art dialogue systems, and (2) an open-source dataset collected from evaluated dialogues.

​​What we learned from NeurIPS 2019 data

x4 growth since 2014
21.6% acceptance rate

Takeaways:

1. No free-loader problem: Relatively few papers are submitted where none of the authors invited to participate in the review process accepted the invitation
2. Unclear how to rapidly filter papers prior to full review: Allowing for early desk rejects by ACs is unlikely to have a significant impact on reviewer load without producing inappropriate decisions. Likewise, the eagerness of reviewers to review a particular paper is not a strong signal, either.
3. No clear evidence that review quality as measured by length is lower for NeurIPS: NeurIPS is surprisingly not much different from other conferences of smaller sizes when it comes to review length.
4. Impact of engagement in rebuttal/discussion period: Overall engagement seemed to be higher than in 2018.

​​Few-shot Video-to-Video Synthesis

it's the pytorch implementation for few-shot photorealistic video-to-video (vid2vid) translation.
it can be used for generating human motions from poses, synthesizing people talking from edge maps, or turning semantic label maps into photo-realistic videos.
the core of vid2vid translation is image-to-image translation.
