I think that the purpose of science is to advance knowledge, not making sure that humans publish papers.

I agree that an avalanche of low-quality papers is bad, but if the paper is good, and teaches us useful science, I don't mind that it was written by an AI

I don't know about the details or the situation you are referring to. The PhD students are Google employees and paid as such 100% during their PhDs. Some amount (overhead , support) is also transferred to the university. I don't know when

Reformist Reinforcement Learning What if we just begin and end with policy gradient?

In honor of the 39th AI Winter, I’m going to spend the week disentangling the culture and code of reinforcement learning. There may be ranting...

14hrs over four countries, didn't show my passport once, had a pretzel in Koln and a beer in Hamburg.

As George Clooney says, it's the best! (Unlike Nespresso)

Today is a day about three very cool things: trains, Europe, and ML!

I'm on my way from Paris to Copenhagen, to attend my first EurIPS!

Looking forward to it, reach out if you want to chat!

1) des gens y travaillent

2) tout a fait d'accord ! Je ne justifiais pas la tâche kafkaïenne. Mon approche est plus de chercher un moyen de contourner que de protester, en général

Un des exemples de motivation derrière la recherche académique sur les LLMs je crois : "ça doit être plus facile d'apprendre a des modèles à écrire que de continuer à remplir ces formulaires

Being a rejected paper seems like a good criteria (possible issues, but very easy to implement)

I'm surprised, there must have been an additional round of changes.

All the emails I saw as an SAC were "help your ACs write new meta-reviews".

I think that they are hard to bootstrap.

While I agree that general chairs, program chairs, local chairs etc do a lot of work (seeing a glimpse of that sometimes myself with ALT/AISTATS), once you start having a bit of money, it can get easier with using conference organising services

How do-able would it be to organize a conference with its deadline a week after NeurIPS, held a week before, that would always take place physically in Europe (but welcome contributions from anywhere)?

I'm very happy that EurIPS is happening, and planning to attend.

But as a NeurIPS SAC I must say that the last definition should not exist - ACs are supposed to change the decisions and update their meta-review themselves.
