NeurIPS 2019 – analysis of papers by themes

Author: ajit jaokar

You can always learn a lot from the papers presented at NeurIPS

There is some good analysis already on the web.

From Chip Huygen – neurips 2019 analysis and from David Abel neurips 2019 analysis

Most major players were also well represented at NeurIPS including       

Facebook at neurips 2019

Microsoft at neurips 2019

Google at neurips 2019 

Intel at neurips 2019

Unity 3d at neurips 2019

IBM at neurips 2019

Apple at neurips 2019

For my students at University of Oxford #AI #Cloud #Edge I did an analysis of neurips papers by theme based on the neurips 2019 schedule. I found it easier to analyse papers based on theme

The themes covered in NeurIPS were
