• Abstract: Science meets Engineering in Deep Learning took place in Vancouver as part of the Workshop section of NeurIPS 2019. As organizers of the workshop, we created the following report in an attempt to isolate emerging topics and recurring themes that have been presented throughout the event. Deep learning can still be a complex mix of art and engineering despite its tremendous success in recent years. The workshop aimed at gathering people across the board to address seemingly contrasting challenges in the problems they are working on. As part of the call for the workshop, particular attention has been given to the interdependence of architecture, data, and optimization that gives rise to an enormous landscape of design and performance intricacies that are not well-understood. This year, our goal was to emphasize the following directions in our community: (i) identify obstacles in the way to better models and algorithms; (ii) identify the general trends from which we would like to build scientific and potentially theoretical understanding; and (iii) the rigorous design of scientific experiments and experimental protocols whose purpose is to resolve and pinpoint the origin of mysteries while ensuring reproducibility and robustness of conclusions. In the event, these topics emerged and were broadly discussed, matching our expectations and paving the way for new studies in these directions. While we acknowledge that the text is naturally biased as it comes through our lens, here we present an attempt to do a fair job of highlighting the outcome of the workshop.
