NATURE | This AI researcher is trying to ward off a reproducibility crisis

Published: 20 December 2019

Joelle Pineau doesn’t want science’s reproducibility crisis to come to artificial intelligence (AI). Spurred by her frustration with difficulties recreating results from other research teams, Pineau, a machine-learning scientist at º«¹úÂãÎè and Facebook in Montreal, Canada, is now spearheading a movement to get AI researchers to open up their methods and code to scrutiny. Alongside Koustuv Sinha, a PhD student at º«¹úÂãÎè, Pineau holds one of two new roles dedicated to reproducibility on the organizing committee for the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), a major meeting for AI that this year attracted some 13,000 researchers.
