Scouting report
McGill professor and long-time head of Meta’s AI research, during which FAIR released PyTorch, LLaMA, and a long run of open models and code. Created the machine learning reproducibility checklist adopted by NeurIPS, forcing the field to state its assumptions and publish enough to be checked.
Curator’s note
Made "show your work" a condition of publication at the biggest venue.
