All mailing lists appear to be empty, is this a new project?

If so, it would be nice to have at least a "Welcome" topic on each mailing list to "kick off" the discussion of each topic.

yeah, its from less than an hour ago :D We will add the welcome messages and everything else. But please, feel free to introduce yourself in the project that you think is interesting and get a conversation started.

Out of curiosity, which mailing lists did you check? I am wondering what others consider the 'standards'. Thanks!

I think he means the project mailing lists (Google Groups) on the linked site.

Ah, that makes more sense. I should have read the full comment XD.

I do not see any email list, can you pls point me to that?

The link is in the description of the projects.

Well, I hope this network succeeds.

If it's based on the concept of "LION" (LinkedIn Open Networkers), I have to say that many Artificial Intelligence groups in LinkedIn are full of people talking about Asimov instead of actual AI.

think open source + behind the scenes. the plan is to share code, papers, science, thoughts in the making, research, etc. but all around well defined projects to be pragmatic. if you already like projects like Keras, this may be a nice place to checkout what you can do with it.

Have you considered running proper mailman instances for the project mailing lists instead of Google Groups?

WHy?

One reason: google offers no way to download content generated by your group. Downloading the archive of mailing lists was a common technique not so long ago to update yourself quickly with a locally searchable archive. Not possible with google groups. This is a very annoying limitation and it makes my research and communication work more complicated every day.

Using google groups forces people to send their very own content into a silo with no way to get it out again without using the google gui.

Another reason: the google groups gui is simply very bad and not usable for professional researchers, I do not want to go into details on this, as it may be based on personal perception, but I always wonder how this product could ever be released to the public, but people seem to accept everything nowadays. One may not need to use the horrible gui when receiving all the messages via a mailserver, but then you still have no way to research things from the past (see above).

Also many people maybe would like to avoid using google at all.

It would be great if you offered at least a mirror with a downloadable archive.

Thanks!

Run by who? The website is very sparse on info

it was proposed by François Chollet (author of Keras) https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/788462595330105344

Exactly. My line-of-thought: Is it the Open AI group from Elon Musk? No. Is it the AI partnership from Google and others? No. Then what is it and who is running it? The welcome and the about page need an update.

So if I am interested in social-media-bot-detection, as found here: https://github.com/AI-ON/ai-on.org/blob/master/projects/soci...

Should I create a new repo from scratch for the project and then make a pull request to update the md file from the original repository to point to the new repo?

This is my understanding from the documentation.

I was unsure about this as well. Did you figure it out?
