NeurIPS 2019
machine learning conference ai neurips neurips2019 canada research
I'm at the 2019 conference on Neural Information Processing Systems in Vancouver, trying to register, but the line was just so long that I decided to bail :D
 Good morning learners! We are here in beautiful Vancouver in Canada and attending the NURIPS conference 2019. Of course one of the largest conferences in machine learning of the year. It's actually there's been a lottery system for the tickets because so many people wanted to register. There were 8,000 people attending I think and it's Sunday morning so even before the conference starts I thought I was smart going really early to register but today is company expo day and I didn't register for that because you know usually companies will make fair bit of fuss about their research online so there's kind of little need to attend that in person you can just catch up later but everyone wants to get in on that and it's it's crazy here like the line starts so you go in here but actually have to go downstairs and the line starts somewhere like way back here underground then you go all line all the way queue all the way up there go there over there up the escalator circle a bunch of times go up some more I guess then you maybe see people all the way over there up until the registration desks that are finally I guess over there I didn't look but it's absolutely crazy these conferences exploding with people from all over the planet I don't even know what kind of the composition is I would be interested how many of them are students of course machine learning departments probably exploding right now with people every company wants to get in on that and I don't know where the trend is going that growth can't continue forever I feel and the it's it's kind of questionable how long we can uphold this how good this is I don't know any of these things I'll just try to get back later going to work a bit now get back later get my ticket and then I hope I can report a bit from the conference over the next few days I can get some good nuggets out of there that said I hope you're doing well and I'll see you later bye bye
 Good morning learners! We are here in beautiful Vancouver in Canada and
 attending the NURIPS conference 2019. Of course one of the largest conferences
 in machine learning of the year. It's actually there's been a lottery system
 for the tickets because so many people wanted to register. There were 8,000
 people attending I think and it's Sunday morning so even before the conference
 starts I thought I was smart going really early to register but today is
 company expo day and I didn't register for that because you know usually
 companies will make fair bit of fuss about their research online so there's
 kind of little need to attend that in person you can just catch up later but
 everyone wants to get in on that and it's it's crazy here like the line
 starts so you go in here but actually have to go downstairs and the line
 starts somewhere like way back here underground then you go all line all
 the way queue all the way up there go there over there up the escalator circle
 a bunch of times go up some more I guess then you maybe see people all the way
 over there up until the registration desks that are finally I guess over
 there I didn't look but it's absolutely crazy these conferences exploding with
 people from all over the planet I don't even know what kind of the composition
 is I would be interested how many of them are students of course machine
 learning departments probably exploding right now with people every company
 wants to get in on that and I don't know where the trend is going that growth
 can't continue forever I feel and the it's it's kind of questionable how long
 we can uphold this how good this is I don't know any of these things I'll just
 try to get back later going to work a bit now get back later get my ticket and
 then I hope I can report a bit from the conference over the next few days I can
 get some good nuggets out of there that said I hope you're doing well and I'll
 see you later bye bye
