A GitHub-based platform to encourage collaboration on research problems.

Want to get involved? Here's some ideas for how. If none of these strike your fancy, come chat with us on Discord.

There are many ways to get involved with new and ongoing projects. The easiest is to browse open issues.

For many projects, the starting point is the implementation / replication of an existing paper with minor modifications. Check out the list of requested implementations here.

A "request for plot," is a way of approaching collaborations on exploratory ideas with minimal friction. The idea is that when one has an idea for a cool experiment, they write up an explanation of what they are thinking and a description of the first plot they'd like to produce investigating the phenomenon. Then someone with more time / the necessary skills / etc. comes and follows the instructions to create the plot, reports back, and you two can discuss the results of the experiment and next steps. Check out the list of requests for plots here.

We have a tagging system to help connect people with projectd recruiting for their skills and expertise.

this is a good project for people with a limited background looking to try something new.

this project needs someone to assist with coordination and organization of the project.

This project needs people with experience developing and mantaining ML systems.

This project needs people with experience developing and mantaining code, but doesn't require a particular background in machine learning.

This project needs people with experience collecting, processing, and analyzing data.

This project needs people with knowledge of ML theory, algorithm design, or advanced topics in mathematics.
