Flareons,
I'm back in Austin now, and no one has volunteered, so I will nominate myself as new FLARE czar. All in favor? All opposed? The ayes have it. :)

Please fill out the doodle. We meet next week, and then every other week after that.
I'm planning on running this like NLL: we'll take turns picking papers and leading discussions. If no one volunteers, I'll either assign someone to lead the next discussion, or I pick, and you will be stuck reading yet another paper about word embeddings.
I will take the first week. Paper decision to come later.
Here's the current spreadsheet of ideas. Please
Your new czar,
Stephen
