What is going on at NIPS 2009? December 8

Filed under AI, learning by oliver | 0 comments

To get a quick overview on what is happening this year at NIPS, I have taken the titles of accepted papers and used the resulting text to produce a word cloud (a screen shot created using http://www.wordle.net/). The word cloud shows the hottest topics as the largest words (unsurprisingly, ‘learning’ is the most prominent word in all the titles). But see for yourselves…
