NeurIPS 2024 Call for Post-Conference Workshops
By Bo Han, Manuel Gomez Rodriguez, Adil Salim and Rose Yu
Sat Dec 14 and Sun Dec 15, 2024
Following the NeurIPS 2024 main conference, workshops on a variety of current topics will be held. We will provide more details in NeurIPS 2024 Guidance for Workshop Proposals.
We invite researchers interested in organizing these workshops to submit proposals. Workshop organizers have several responsibilities, including coordinating workshop participation and content, publicizing and providing the program in a timely manner, and moderating the program throughout the workshop.
Goals of NeurIPS Workshops
Workshops provide an informal, dynamic venue for in-person discussion of work in progress and future directions. Good quality workshops have helped to crystallize common problems and emerging scientific paradigms, explicitly contrast competing frameworks, and clarify essential questions for a subfield or application area. Workshops are a structured means of bringing together people with common interests to form communities. We expect the workshops to include some form of community building, and stand apart from other parts of the NeurIPS program, such as Tutorials or Competitions.
Each workshop is expected to have approximately 7 to 9 hours of session contents, with considerable free time between the sessions for individual exchange. NeurIPS will host only in-person workshops this year, with full-stack technical support to broadcast the workshop to the online audience.
Potential workshop topics range from Machine Learning, Neuroscience, Reinforcement Learning, Human-AI Collaboration, Learning Theory, Robotics, Probabilistic Models and Inference, Computer Vision, Speech, Natural Language Processing, Emerging Applications for Machine Learning, and Societal Impacts of Artificial Intelligence, as well as any other topic relevant to an appreciable fraction of the NeurIPS community. Detailed descriptions of previous workshops may be found in last year's online schedule.
Every group considering submitting a workshop must read the NeurIPS 2024 Guidance for Workshop Proposals, which describes the philosophy behind hosting workshops, formatting requirements, details of the selection criteria and process, what is considered a conflict of interest, and other frequently asked questions. We highly recommend that each group utilize the provided template in the guidance to draft their proposal.
