Don't read too much into titles.
AGI(-16) is a cognitive science / philosophy conference (and not particularly high impact). Similarly, NIPS is not really about neural information processing.
- ilaksh 10y agoI'm not reading into titles. I watched a lot of the videos. Don't dismiss it on your superficial evaluation of titles or prejudice about the conference. AGI is in fact a developed field with key insights into general intelligence. You should study it.
- nl 10y agoArgonaut works in the field. I'm pretty sure (s)he knows what NIPS is and has thought about AGI some too.
- argonaut 10y agoI comment a lot on machine learning but I don't actually work in the field actively. I did some research in college. There aren't many active researchers/experts commenting on HN (better things to do), which is IMO a big issue with the ML-related discussion quality on HN (it's basically 90% futurism/speculation).
