I had planned to attend, but NIPS "sold out" within a couple weeks before I could make arrangements. NIPS growth has been absolutely tremendous. Being unable to register made it impossible for my lab to submit workshop papers. One of my students got a travel award to attend a Women in Machine Learning Workshop, but only the tutorial day was open for booking.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like next year's venue in Montreal is any bigger based on the statistics I looked up.

There are slots devoted specifically to folks who get workshop papers in. I registered a couple days ago.

To be fair, I agree NIPS registration is getting a little out of hand, but we should get the facts straight.

For those who haven't seen yet, Intel is hosting a NIPS 2017 party called "Let the Gradient Flo", with Flo Rida performing.

Got to be close to peak hype.

Someone calculate the optimal crowd location to catch one of the chains he always tosses to the audience.

O_O that would make my year. #blessed

YESS any more details?

If you want to ask questions/add comments to the papers being presented, the Fermat's Library team set up a page for that http://fermatslibrary.com/nips

Does anyone have the correct link for the reviews? The one on the page for each paper doesn't seem correct.

Anyone at TITS right now? :) Helped set up all day.

This comment seems to have been downvoted and then flagged, but a reminder that TITS (Transformationally Intelligent Technologies Symposium) is a real, if humorous, sister conference of NIPS: http://www.tits.ai

Really? That's a terrible name. Even if it's just making fun of NIPS (which probably should have changed its name years ago)

cringe

Who's going?
