NIPS 2017

I'm continuing my tradition of summarising conferences I attend. Previous posts: NIPS 2016, NIPS 2015, AAAI 2016, ICML 2016. I also went to AAAI 2017 to present my work on unitary recurrent neural networks, but didn't write a summary. This was my third time attending NIPS, but my first time …

NIPS 2016

We return for another installment of Stephanie Summarises a Conference. My previous work in this area is NIPS 2015, AAAI 2016, and ICML 2016. I was pleasantly surprised at NIPS to be asked if I was going to write one of these again. Apparently someone somehow found my blog. Ignorance …

ICML 2016 not by the day

The International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) was in NYC this year! Unfortunately(?) for me, I moved from NYC to Zürich two months ago. Fortunately for me, I was able to return to attend the conference. Instead of doing a day-by-day breakdown (as I did for NIPS and AAAI), this …

AAAI 2016 by the day

This was my first time attending the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence Conference (AAAI), so …

NIPS 2015 by the day

I got back from Montreal yesterday. I was at the Twenty-ninth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) - a rather large gathering of people interested in machine learning, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and related topics. It's an academic conference, and it is intense. Many wonderful conversations were had, things learned …
