[Smerity]

I provided a write-up of interesting ICLR submissions, primarily for NLP, but have also provided a small snippet explaining why I thought the paper was important or how it fit with other recent relevant papers.

I'd also strongly recommend people read through all the submissions themselves as every person seems to select a different set of papers depending on what they're interested in. My write-up has very few papers discussing CNNs for example as I'm focused on RNNs for the most part.
