Challenges in Representation Learning: A report on three machine learning contests
This is an incremental report summarizing workshop outcomes for the machine learning community, with no new methods or results presented.
The paper reports on three machine learning contests from the ICML 2013 Workshop on Challenges in Representation Learning, describing datasets and summarizing competition results, with suggestions for future challenge organization and insights from competitions.
The ICML 2013 Workshop on Challenges in Representation Learning focused on three challenges: the black box learning challenge, the facial expression recognition challenge, and the multimodal learning challenge. We describe the datasets created for these challenges and summarize the results of the competitions. We provide suggestions for organizers of future challenges and some comments on what kind of knowledge can be gained from machine learning competitions.
