I feel like many people forgot that the progress in AI of the past few years wouldn’t have been possible without all the amazing open research papers published. From ULMFIT, Attention is all you need, BERT, Latent diffusion and many others, they truly enabled open and collaborative technology building at unprecedented speed. We’re trying to make them cool again in collaboration with Arvix by letting you follow researchers and then get notified when they release new research papers. You can also create collections & upvote your favorite ones. This is the collection of papers I've read in the past few weeks: huggingface.co/collections/c… Let's push more open and collaborative research!
