The thirty-eighth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2024) will take place in Vancouver, Canada, from Tuesday 10 December to Sunday 15 December. There is a bumper programme of events, including invited talks, orals, posters, tutorials, workshops, and socials, not to mention AIhub’s session on science communication.
Invited talks
There are seven invited talks this year:
Alison Gopnik – The Golem vs. stone soup: Understanding how children learn can help us understand and improve AI
Sepp Hochreiter – Toward industrial artificial intelligence
Fei-Fei Li – From seeing to doing: Ascending the ladder of visual intelligence
Lidong Zhou – A match made in silicon: The co-evolution of systems and AI
Arnaud Doucet – From diffusion models to Schrödinger bridges
Danica Kragic – Learning for interaction and interaction for learning
Rosalind Picard – How to optimize what matters most?
