      <h4 class="heading-2">What is ICBINB?</h4>
      <p class="paragraph-6">The ICBINB initiative is a movement within the ML community for well-executed meaningful
        research beyond bold numbers. The goals of the initiative are to crack open the research process, to re-value
        unexpected negative results, question well-established default practices, and advance the understanding,
        elegance, and diversity of the field as opposed to focusing solely on the outcome and just rewarding approaches
        that beat previous works on a given benchmark.<br>

    <div class="w-container">
      <h4 class="heading-2">Objectives</h4>
      <p class="paragraph-6">
        The three pillars of such an initiative include:
      <ol>
        <li><b>Shed light on the research process:</b> sharing stories about how research is really done behind the
          curtains, encouraging transparency and reproducibility.
        </li>
        <li><b>Provide a platform for high-quality but under-valued ML research:</b> showcase, disseminate, and support
          valuable work that is currently under-represented given publication incentives. This includes negative
          results/failed attempts, simple approaches that work well in practice, and applied work.</li>
        <li><b>Develop an inclusive and welcoming community</b> of researchers and practitioners that share the same
          values to support and help each other to conduct deep high-impact research. Encourage meta-dialog on how we
          should be conducting top-tier ML research.</li>
