Machine Learning Unconference

Sounds interesting! I have been trying to get in touch with the OpenAI team in the last weeks concerning their program synthesis project (I have been working on static analysis & machine learning for the last two years and would be very eager to contribute some ideas) but so far haven't been successful. It seems they're either just unresponsive or overwhelmed by requests right now (I assume the latter).

Meeting the team at the conference seems like a great opportunity but I'm wondering whether this will be an effective way to get a collaboration started or learn how to participate in their efforts (as it would require a 20 hour trip from Berlin for me).

For me, the biggest questions right now are:

* How are they going to organize their work?

* What kind of contributions are they looking for?

I think it would be great to address these things at the conference.

Ilya from OpenAI here. We are swamped indeed. But please ping me at [email protected] and I will get back to you.

Just had a look at your presentation "Learning from other's mistakes: Data-driven code analysis"

Can you share some links to your work with ML or related ?

We have a solution for static analysis of Python code online: https://www.quantifiedcode.com

Currently we're using machine learning mostly behind the scenes to optimize our hand-written patterns for analysis and refactoring, but we started working on a deep learning based system to improve our analysis, using data we've collected from the 10.000 software projects we are analyzing right now.

I would email greg brockman. I pestered him for advice one time and the amount of time he took to respond (and the amount of times he responded) was well beyond my expectation.
