Facebook AI (FAIR) researchers and engineers are converging at the 5^th annual International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2017 in Toulon, France this week. ICLR brings together the top artificial intelligence and machine learning experts to discuss how to best learn meaningful and useful representations of data to application areas such as vision, speech, audio and natural language processing.

At ICLR they will be sharing their latest research in AI through 17 conference and workshop track papers, including a subset of their work on dialog systems which is outlined here.  The complete list of FAIR research papers being presented at ICLR is:
