Introduction: NIPS is the big winter conference of learning. Paper due date: June 3rd. (Tweaked thanks to Fei Sha .) Location: Vancouver (main program) Dec. 5-8 and Whistler (workshops) Dec 9-10, BC, Canada NIPS is larger than all of the other learning conferences, partly because it’s the only one at that time of year. I recommend the workshops which are often quite interesting and energetic.

Introduction: I expect the NIPS 2006 workshops to be quite interesting, and recommend going for anyone interested in machine learning research. (Most or all of the workshops webpages can be found two links deep.)
3 0.25607085 46 hunch net-2005-03-24-The Role of Workshops
Introduction: A good workshop is often far more interesting than the papers at a conference. This happens because a workshop has a much tighter focus than a conference. Since you choose the workshops fitting your interest, the increased relevance can greatly enhance the level of your interest and attention. Roughly speaking, a workshop program consists of elements related to a subject of your interest. The main conference program consists of elements related to someone’s interest (which is rarely your own). Workshops are more about doing research while conferences are more about presenting research. Several conferences have associated workshop programs, some with deadlines due shortly. ICML workshops Due April 1 IJCAI workshops Deadlines Vary KDD workshops Not yet finalized Anyone going to these conferences should examine the workshops and see if any are of interest. (If none are, then maybe you should organize one next year.)
4 0.21652168 285 hunch net-2008-01-23-Why Workshop?
Introduction: I second the call for workshops at ICML/COLT/UAI . Several times before , details of why and how to run a workshop have been mentioned. There is a simple reason to prefer workshops here: attendance. The Helsinki colocation has placed workshops directly between ICML and COLT/UAI , which is optimal for getting attendees from any conference. In addition, last year ICML had relatively few workshops and NIPS workshops were overloaded. In addition to those that happened a similar number were rejected. The overload has strange consequences—for example, the best attended workshop wasn’t an official NIPS workshop. Aside from intrinsic interest, the Deep Learning workshop benefited greatly from being off schedule.
5 0.21342845 379 hunch net-2009-11-23-ICML 2009 Workshops (and Tutorials)
Introduction: I’m the workshops chair for ICML this year. As such, I would like to personally encourage people to consider running a workshop. My general view of workshops is that they are excellent as opportunities to discuss and develop research directions—some of my best work has come from collaborations at workshops and several workshops have substantially altered my thinking about various problems. My experience running workshops is that setting them up and making them fly often appears much harder than it actually is, and the workshops often come off much better than expected in the end. Submissions are due January 18, two weeks before papers. Similarly, Ben Taskar is looking for good tutorials , which is complementary. Workshops are about exploring a subject, while a tutorial is about distilling it down into an easily taught essence, a vital part of the research process. Tutorials are due February 13, two weeks after papers.

3 0.49161765 475 hunch net-2012-10-26-ML Symposium and Strata-Hadoop World
Introduction: The New York ML symposium was last Friday. There were 303 registrations, up a bit from last year . I particularly enjoyed talks by Bill Freeman on vision and ML, Jon Lenchner on strategy in Jeopardy, and Tara N. Sainath and Brian Kingsbury on deep learning for speech recognition . If anyone has suggestions or thoughts for next year, please speak up. I also attended Strata + Hadoop World for the first time. This is primarily a trade conference rather than an academic conference, but I found it pretty interesting as a first time attendee. This is ground zero for the Big data buzzword, and I see now why. It’s about data, and the word “big” is so ambiguous that everyone can lay claim to it. There were essentially zero academic talks. Instead, the focus was on war stories, product announcements, and education. The general level of education is much lower—explaining Machine Learning to the SQL educated is the primary operating point. Nevertheless that’s happening, a
4 0.46430707 301 hunch net-2008-05-23-Three levels of addressing the Netflix Prize
Introduction: In October 2006, the online movie renter, Netflix, announced the Netflix Prize contest. They published a comprehensive dataset including more than 100 million movie ratings, which were performed by about 480,000 real customers on 17,770 movies.  Competitors in the challenge are required to estimate a few million ratings.  To win the “grand prize,” they need to deliver a 10% improvement in the prediction error compared with the results of Cinematch, Netflix’s proprietary recommender system. Best current results deliver 9.12% improvement , which is quite close to the 10% goal, yet painfully distant.  The Netflix Prize breathed new life and excitement into recommender systems research. The competition allowed the wide research community to access a large scale, real life dataset. Beyond this, the competition changed the rules of the game. Claiming that your nice idea could outperform some mediocre algorithms on some toy dataset is no longer acceptable. Now researcher
