Because deep learning is booming, the field lacks best practices; practitioners tend to be new. Combined with hype, this is a bad situation

Would be great to see open source documentation of best practices in the field. With public issues where people could discuss. Thoughts?

Interesting idea. The system that currently plays this role is Arxiv, but it is extremely non-optimal for this purpose

Would it be better to start with best practices through libraries ex. Keras / Tensorflow i.e. code or are there best practices before code?

Also, could link back to Arxiv as a reference to why something is a best practice. Having a list/agg is extremely useful esp for newer folks

That's a good idea, but would be very time-consuming to pull off. Need a large group, and need lots of expertise.

Two problems that will arise are credit assignment and conflicts of interest (pushing one paper over another). Classic academic problems
