the title is wrong. it's not every "best paper": notably all best papers before 2005 are missing for ICML.
in terms of metrics of research quality, not all conferences are equal, and "best" papers are often selected by a relatively small group of people whose decision isn't really validated too much.
- whathappenedto 16y agosorry, it seemed to cover most of the conferences I knew about. where would one start looking for something like older best paper awards? it seems like ICML only started giving out best paper awards since 2005 I guess it's the old truism of not being able to prove something does not exist
- dododo 16y agoyou can find the previous icml best paper awards by looking at the previous conference websites. for example: http://www-ai.ijs.si/SasoDzeroski/ICML99/award.html http://www-ai.ijs.si/SasoDzeroski/ICML99/award.html via http://www.machinelearning.org/icml.html http://www.machinelearning.org/icml.html in machine learning, i think the significant conferences are NIPS (http://www.nips.cc/ http://www.nips.cc/), ICML, UAI (e.g., http://event.cwi.nl/uai2010/ http://event.cwi.nl/uai2010/), and AISTATS (http://www.aistats.org/ http://www.aistats.org/).
- akg_67 16y agoAgree, title is misleading, may be put up to attract eyeballs. It doesn't include few other prominent conferences also such as USENIX conferences FAST and LISA.
