Workshop
NIPS Highlights (MLTrain), Learn How to code a paper with state of the art frameworks
Alex Dimakis 路 Nikolaos Vasiloglou 路 Guy Van den Broeck 路 Alexander Ihler 路 Assaf Araki
Sat 9 Dec, 8 a.m. PST
Every year hundreds of papers are published at NIPS. Although the authors provide sound and scientific description and proof of their ideas, there is no space for explaining all the tricks and details that can make the implementation of the paper work. The goal of this workshop is to help authors evangelize their paper to the industry and expose the participants to all the Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence know-how that cannot be found in the papers. Also the effect/importance of tuning parameters is rarely discussed, due to lack of space.
Submissions
We encourage you to prepare a poster of your favorite paper that explains graphically and at a higher level the concepts and the ideas discussed in it. You should also submit a jupyter notebook that explains in detail how equations in the paper translate to code. You are welcome to use any of the famous platforms like tensorFlow, Keras, MxNet, CNTK, etc.
