#NeurIPS2021 in tweets – highlights from the first week
The first week of the 35th conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS2021) saw eight fascinating invited talks, tutorials, affinity group workshops, and a new datasets and benchmarks track. There were also poster sessions, oral sessions, competitions, demonstrations, and more.
With this compilation of tweets, we look back on the week.
Invited talks
"The greatest violence is the product of remoteness from reality" – a great talk by Mary L. Gray, The Banality of Scale: A Theory on the Limits of Modeling Bias and Fairness Frameworks for Social Justice (and other lessons from the Pandemic) at #NeurIPS2021

The invited talk by @lugosi_gabor at #NeurIPS2021 was very enjoyable and also a little disturbing — if your data isn't Gaussian (or subgaussian), then even basic things become nontrivial.https://t.co/TPByspYh5T https://t.co/oLxN5Q7FGe

Workshops
#NeurIPS2021 I fondly remember my 1st NeurIPS experience as a keynote speaker for the @black_in_ai workshop (which was fascinating again this year). I’m thrilled to return as an invited speaker for Deep Learning & Inverse Problems.https://t.co/sEvR7Zh3M2https://t.co/StduvqTLgM

Panel discussions
Excited to host this panel soon!
There's so much to talk about when it comes to research ethics in the ML community, and I'm glad we could assemble this group of experts to approach the discussion from multiple angles, speaking to a broad range of ethical considerations. https://t.co/l37lviWxCj
