Is this the Neural Information Processing Systems convention you're talking about? I'm sure more than a few people won't have any idea what "NIPS" stands for.

- davmre 12y agoTo be fair, calling it "Neural Information Processing Systems" isn't significantly more informative. The name is just a quirk of history; NIPS in its modern form includes research in all areas of machine learning, not just neural nets.
- _delirium 12y agoIn fact for some years neural networks were very out of fashion there, and it was almost purely a statistical machine learning conference. I tend to just think of it as a machine-learning conference named "NIPS", which stands for something historical (like Perl and Lisp do).
