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.
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.
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.
You find a rather common spelling mistake (which has been fixed) “credibility-undercutting” and “cringeworthy”? It seems like you are holding blog posts that have made it to the first page of Hacker News to a ridiculously high standard.
It didn't make the cut just because is a keynote and not a paper, but nevertheless is a great engineering fit. Even more if considering that in the meanwhile Jeff is running the entire brain team, and keep pouring contributions on a regular basis: https://research.google.com/pubs/jeff.html
What are the best scholarly papers you read in 2017?
I'm hoping for some discussion on there.
