#NeurIPS2021 in tweets – highlights from the first two days
The 35th conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS2021) started on Monday. So far, attendees have been enjoying the tutorials, the affinity group workshops, and the new datasets and benchmarks track. Participants are looking forward to the invited talks, poster sessions, and workshops that are coming up during the week. This compilation of tweets gives a flavour of the conference so far, and events to look out for later in the week.
Tutorials
Welcome to Day 1 of #NeurIPS2021 ? Today is all about tutorials. Our blog summarises highlights for day 1. https://t.co/kNKjujY5r4

If you’re at @NeurIPSConf @cephaloponderer and I have this tutorial tomorrow (Monday). We will also be joined by @alexhanna and @willie_agnew for the extended Q&A/panel—we are so thankful that they are making time for this in their extremely busy schedules. https://t.co/eMG8WdwCcB

StyleCLIPDraw: Coupling Content and Style in Text-to-Drawing Synthesis
Their results suggest that the style of the drawing is coupled with the drawing process itself.

Papers
Q. What does Noether’s theorem tell us about the “geometry of deep learning dynamics”?
A. We derive Noether’s Learning Dynamics and show:
”SGD+momentum+BatchNorm+weight decay” = “RMSProp" due to symmetry breaking!w/ @KuninDaniel#NeurIPS2021 Paper: https://t.co/vNU3JgHNhv

So much of ML focuses on "zoo conditions", with iid and trustworthy data.
Our #NeurIPS2021 takes learning ?? ??? ??????. We construct optimal algorithms, and prove impossibility theorems on what any algorithm can achieve in real environments.https://t.co/ntTcKB52Qg pic.twitter.com/rutr1gKjD4

Datasets and benchmark track
Just skimmed the #NeurIPS2021 Datasets and Benchmark papers abstracts and I want to highlight these papers introducing natural language datasets which name the languages up front (title or abstract):
