On building the website
1/ Spent the last couple weeks in quarantine obsessively coding a website for Virtual ICLR with @hen_str. We wanted to build something that was fun to browse, async first, and feels alive. pic.twitter.com/mwvp4T3qvt

Praise for the format and for virtual conferences in general
I'm liking the virtual format of #ICLR. All the papers (sorted by filters) are easily accessible (finding papers in poster sessions can be exhaustive). Let's see how the communication happens virtually.

we didn’t get to talk over coffee or beer… but $100 to register, no air travel, and not missing daily walks with my puppy and kids! Hooray for virtual #iclr2020 https://t.co/IpZhBORzhH

A happy poster presenter
This past week at #ICLR was amazing. It presented my first poster from my recent work “Bilateral Trade Modeling with Graph Neural Networks” at the #PML4DC workshop. A thousand thanks to @m_deff and @bose_joey for the awesome supervision. Paper: https://t.co/twRQ43p6Ar

There were some very interesting keynote presentations

Talk on ViLBERT
A nice summary of all the recent work that has been done in (Vision+Language) space from @deviparikh at #ICLR.#ICLR2020
PS: Other relevant work to ViLBERT which she hinted at are: VLBERT, VisualBERT, UniTER, LXMERT. pic.twitter.com/b8ABWCKGRy— praj (@prajjwal_1) April 26, 2020

An online gathering place
ICLR Town: Pokemon-esque environment to wander around and bump into people, which syncs almost seamlessly with video-chatting capabilities.
What a fun idea for virtual (research) conferences! Thanks @iclr_conf organizers!! #ICLR2020 #iclr

Taking notes on papers
Had a blast at #ICLR2020: especially blown away by the poster sessions!
Here's a non-exhaustive list of papers I took notes on. A little rough, but might be of interest to people interested in QA, text generation, or transformers 🙂https://t.co/Gl8fCajiPc— Yacine Jernite (@YJernite) May 1, 2020
Really happy to share #visualmlnotes ✍️ a virtual gallery of sketchnotes taken at Machine Learning talks 🧠🤓🤖 which includes last weeks #ICLR2020. Explore, exploit & feel free to share:

On the value of adding a video to explain your work
Similar papers section on #ICLR2020 feels like YouTube recommendations for research (there is even chat for comments). I wish all authors now publish short videos along with their papers. pic.twitter.com/ixPkwMlKgW
