#NeurIPS2023 in tweets – part two

The thirty-seventh Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2023), held in New Orleans, drew to a close on Saturday 16 December. In this post, we take a look at what participants got up to during the last few days of the conference. You can find part one of our round-up here.

This is my attempt to convey how unreasonable and unimaginably large #NeurIPS2023 is. Wild. pic.twitter.com/Fl89mI3wGy

@samianholt's work shows that observing at regular time intervals is NOT optimal in certain continuous-time environments, while irregular observations yield higher expected utility…what you should definitely observe is him at #NeurIPS2023 & how we tackle this important problem! pic.twitter.com/VVsQe0pfVP

So excited to be part of the Intrinsically Motivated Open-Ended Learning workshop at #NeurIPS2023! First up: Doina Precup sketches out a general blueprint for continual reinforcement learning.

Join us at poster #112, 5pm-7pm at #NeurIPS2023, where we will present our new dataset on wildfire spread prediction: WildfireSpreadTS.

It's useful for spatio-temporal modeling, working with noisy labels, high-dimensional data and class-imbalance.https://t.co/BQhwyhpfR3 pic.twitter.com/R890oGeiRz

Ever wondered how we can use AI and geometry to potentially accelerate vaccine discovery? ?

We use the power of equivariance to predict the binding between antigens and antibodies.

Super excited to be presenting the TS-DiffuGen poster at the #NeurIPS2023 workshop on diffusion models tomorrow! TS-DiffuGen uses a 3D reactant/product coordinate-conditioned diffusion model to generate accurate reaction Transition State conformations! pic.twitter.com/7g8YVAFTZQ

I gave a keynote this week at the fantastic ATTRIB Workshop #NeurIPS2023

"What does scale give us: Why we are building a ladder ? to the moon ?"

Some of you asked for my slides, sharing below:https://t.co/qBlINJfi0y

Thanks to the organizers for a fantastic workshop! ?

The last panel I attended featured @huggingface researchers, academic experts, Elham from @NIST and @rajiinio. The exchange between Margaret and Rayid was as informative as watching Deb play the role of a peacemaker. Thanks to the panelists for the session. #NeurIPS2023 pic.twitter.com/b0ho3TT9mO

I had a great time at #NeurIPS2023. And I met a lot of researchers who I have known online for a long time. I am so excited that I could catch up with the researchers from different fields. It’s also a great opportunity for me to know more about the advance of Graph modeling. pic.twitter.com/WBjy2kUBMu

Honored to receive best paper for MPP at the @AI_for_Science @NeurIPSConf workshop with my teammates @PolymathicAI! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our poster for the great discussions and to the organizers for running such an interesting workshop! #AI4Science #NeurIPS2023 https://t.co/rr3Oepp3ky

I had **the best time** at #NeurIPS2023–more fun than I've ever had–and bummed it's over.
If you're a tech minority, maybe you can come next year? It will be in Vancouver, Canada.
Below, I'll detail themes where it seems the majority of research comes from tech minorities:?
