Announcing the NeurIPS 2021 Datasets and Benchmarks Track
Joaquin Vanschoren and Serena Yeung There are no good models without good data (Sambasivan et al. 2021). The vast majority of the NeurIPS community focuses on algorithm design, but often can’t easily find good datasets to evaluate their algorithms in a way that is maximally useful for the community and/or practitioners. Hence, many researchers resort […]
