Slightly OT, but I wanted to know if there's any group/forum where we can read and discuss papers regularly?

I know the morning paper (https://blog.acolyer.org/), but it is not so interactive, in the sense that you can't have discussions with peers and it turns into just passive reading.

If you're in Boston, we have a reading group for machine learning papers. We'll start up again on the 9th.

List of papers we've discussed: https://github.com/pmiller10/cambridge-ai

Mailing list: http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sipb-deeplearning

At Spotify, we have a reading group. I started one at SoundCloud and at Google there were multiple focused on very specific topics. If you can prove to your company the value in investing in a reading group, you can probably start one in your company too.

KTH, Stockholm's main technical university, has an open reading group too, open to everyone. Probably if you have a big enough university in your area they have something similar.

Alternatively try reddit, ie.: on r/machinelearning. That said, the value of doing this in real life, in front of a whiteboard, is worth going extra mile and find someone to team up with.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but maybe you or someone else might be interested on this: http://fermatslibrary.com
Very interesting, thanks!

Somewhat related,a general purpose annotation platform is http://hypothes.is - a great feature is that PDF annotations are location independent because they use some kind of fingerprint to identify the document.

Yeah, I'd be interested in this too. Something with a lot of discussion, smallish group, to create a sense of social obligation...
