#2Interesting. I thought that apple mostly did closed research, yet they are publishing in public conference.

#3guys, is this the first time apple is involved with academic papers?

Nope, they've been sharing their research more widely in the last few years. Here's an example from 2018, in a different area of research: https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol11/p540-shraer.pdf

#5Hats off to people like Carlos Guestrin & John Giannandrea, who seem to have pushed a cultural shift through Apple. I didn't think I'd see a site like this a few years ago, based on Apple's historic reputation of strongly discouraging employees from publishing research.

Totally respect what they have achieved, one thing to keep in mind is to structure the incentives so that researchers don't just focus on h-scores and the like but also ship features that can transform user's experiences.

Not to take away from the people who worked hard to shift the culture (which is always hard at a large company), but I saw the same shift happen at Amazon and it came down to a simple fact - it's very hard to recruit and keep the best talent if you don't publish. You don't build ML reputation and the best researchers often don't want to work somewhere where they can't add papers to their resume.

#8I remember ICML 2015 in Beijing when I was the only one (I suspect there was another guy but apparently he even had to hide his affiliation) from Apple at the conference. Not allowed to officially/publicly to talk about what I do. Went only because of networking and to hire people. Times change slowly there.

Not sure about this: a lot of interesting work is just hidden because of NDAs, commercial IP, military, etc. You will never see anything made public until necessary and just the minimum amount required.
