Best of Arxiv -- Readings for July 2021

Staying on top of your reading list is hard, and finding which papers should be on that list can be even harder. At Zeta Alpha we're always keeping a close eye to the latest ML research, so we're sharing a monthly selection of recent papers to surface what we believe will be impactful publications, mostly based on each work's contributions and the authors' influence. Don't take this list as comprehensive: we have our biases like everyone else, but hey there's only so much you can choose out of 4000 papers. This month we bring Volunteer Computing to the forefront, more Transformers, Mixture of Experts and much more. Why Cars spend almost all their lifetime parked, and similarly, a big chunk of the world's compute is standing idle most of the time.
