Reply to comment by anymorenevermore in [D] Will there be a replacement for Machine Learning Twitter? by MrAcurite

Something tells me you're not actually in the machine learning community if you think the small number of researchers at facebook and tesla are representative of the community at large lol.

Can you name an actually prominent researcher from either of those companies? There's yann at Facebook of course, who has definitely had impact in popularizing convnets and applications, but has effectively zero novel contributions of his own

FAIR is only behind Google/Microsoft and one of the bigger players in AI research

Simply not true, the gap between fair and msr, brain, and deepmind is massive. I'm sure fair has had some engineering success, but their research output is very weak compared to other labs

I based my answer on the 2020 and 2021 Neurips papers by institution. Couldn't find data of 2022. Anyways, Wav2vec was a huge paper for me and basically what I worked on for a large part of the past 2 years. And they were the maintainer of PyTorch and still carry the bulk of the work.

I really don't get how you can disregard FB as nearly zero influence on ML
