Deep neural networks that learn to represent data in multiple layers of increasing abstraction have dramatically improved the state-of-the-art for speech recognition, object recognition, object detection, predicting the activity of drug molecules, and many other tasks. Deep learning discovers intricate structure in large datasets by building distributed representations, either via supervised, unsupervised or reinforcement learning....

The biennial International Conference on Monte Carlo Methods and Applications (MCM) is a mathematically-oriented meeting devoted to the study of stochastic simulation and Monte Carlo methods in general, from the theoretical viewpoint and in terms of their effective applications in different areas such as nance, statistics, machine learning, computer graphics, computational physics, biology, chemistry, and scientific computing in general.

Join ConvAI Competition as a Human Evaluator to make next generation chatbots truly intelligent Dialogue systems and conversational agents – including chatbots, personal assistants and voice control interfaces – are becoming increasingly widespread in our daily lives. Nevertheless, conversational intelligence remains one of the major unsolved tasks in artificial intelligence. This year,  NIPS is sponsoring...
