• Authors: Shagun Sodhani, Mayoore S. Jaiswal, Lauren Baker, Koustuv Sinha, Carl Shneider, Peter Henderson, Joel Lehman, Ryan Lowe
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: 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.

  We propose a novel group discussion framework to enrich the set of discussion mechanisms. We observe that the multi-agent discussion performs better than a single agent only when there is no demonstration in the prompt.
