If you are ever in doubt that we need to keep doing more to make the ML community more welcoming and more diverse, you can always look at the ML subreddit, where, whenever the topic of diversity comes up, the must upvoted comments are always the most disgusting and toxic.
This place is rife with misogyny, racism, and antisemitism, in addition to general trolling and toxicity. No, this is not representative of the ML community at large -- most people in our community are good people. This is the toxic fringe. But that fringe is still part of it.
As long as these attitudes exist, all efforts to make our community more welcoming are important and necessary.
I find myself very keen NOT to look at the ML subreddit as it happens.... :/
also it did not escape my notice that when I went to ML talks at CSAIL 1) the M:F ratio in the room was far worse than it was when I was an engineering school undergrad in the 90s; 2) EXCEPT when it was ML-as-applied-to-social-things and then half the men didn't show ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
*REALLY??* Not in the ML area too! :-(
"If everything is fair..." That's a big utopian "if" condition. Huge piles of documented quantitative and anecdotal evidence suggest that that condition is violated a lot.
The vocal minority of the ML community and just people who are generally interested in AI research pay visit to the subreddit and seem to be the ones commenting the most. Rather than telling the stop vainly, researchers should start posting/commenting more.
Or somewhere else. Arxiv and GitHub are good, everything else is procrastination. Like myself right now. Life is short, don't procrastinate.
