The venue is the same every year. It used to be Denver, but now it's Vancouver, Canada. This is a meeting at the end of the year.
The paper was published in the second year after the meeting, which means that the paper of NIPS'05 was published in 2006. The name of the meeting is
"The progress of neural information processing system", so, like ICML\ECML.
Different from the "standard" machine learning conference, there are quite a lot of neuroscience contents in NIPS, which are similar to those in machine learning.
A certain distance. But because the main content of the conference is machine learning, or it is closely related to machine learning, so
Many people think NIPS is one of the best conferences in the field of machine learning. This conference is basically controlled by Michael.
Jordan's disciples are all in the hands of his grandson, so it is not difficult for Jordan's people to send NIPS, and some of them may not be very difficult.
Strong works can also be posted, but it is really difficult for people outside this circle to post an article, because it is reserved for the "outside"
People's mouths are very small, so it is more difficult for people outside Jordan to send out nipples than ICML people. In other words,
ICML is more open, and the influence of small circles is not as great as that of NIPS, so people in North America and Europe recognize it, and NIPS recognizes it.
Some people (especially some Europeans, including some people) are determined not to contribute. This is certainly not good for the CD itself.
However, because Jordan is very strong, he doesn't seem to care too much. Recently, IMLS (International Machine Learning Society) was re-elected.
Directors, those eligible for nomination include those who have published articles in ICML \ ECML \ Colt in the past three years, but NIPS is not included.
Outside. Anyway, it was a very good meeting.
