Thirty-fifth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems - NeurIPS 2021

The Thirty-fifth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, NeurIPS 2021, is a virtual-only Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning conference. Tutorials started on December 6th, 2021, with the main conference running from December 7-10th, and workshops taking place December 13-14th. This year we are pleased to present two papers accepted to the main conference, and six papers accepted at Workshops.

Papers accepted to the main conference:

1. Continual Learning via Local Module Composition (Oleksiy Ostapenko, Pau Rodriguez, Massimo Caccia, Laurent Charlin) [PDF ]
2. Systematic Generalization with Edge Transformers (Leon Bergen, Timothy J. O'Donnell, Dzmitry Bahdanau) [PDF ]
3. Systematic Evaluation of Causal Discovery in Visual Model Based Reinforcement Learning?(Nan Rosemary Ke, Aniket Didolkar, Sarthak Mittal, Anirudh Goyal, Guillaume Lajoie, Stefan Bauer, Danilo Jimenez Rezende, Yoshua Bengio, Chris Pal, Michael Mozer) [PDF ] (Track on Datasets and Benchmarks)

Papers accepted at workshops:

1. Disentanglement via Mechanism Sparsity Regularization: A New Principle for Nonlinear ICA (Sébastien Lachapelle, Pau Rodríguez López, Yash Sharma, Katie Everett, Rémi Le Priol, Alexandre Lacoste, Simon Lacoste-Julien) [PDF ]
2. On the Value of ML Models (Fabio Casati, Pierre-André No?l, Jie Yang) [Workshop link ]
3. The Dynamics of Functional Diversity throughout Neural Network Training (Lee Zamparo, Marc-Etienne Brunet , Sepideh Kharaghani) [Workshop link ]
4. Toward Foundation Models for Earth Monitoring: A Climate Change Benchmark (Alexandre Lacoste, Evan David Sherwin, Hannah Kerner, Hamed Alemohammad, Bj?rn Lütjens, Jeremy Irvin, David Dao, Alex Chang, Mehmet Gunturkun, Alexandre Drouin, Pau Rodriguez, David Vazquez) [PDF ] ?[Workshop link ]
5. Towards Neural Functional Program Evaluation (Torsten Scholak, Jonathan Pilault, Joey Velez-Ginorio) [PDF ] ?[Workshop link ]
6. Typing assumptions improve identification in causal discovery (Philippe Brouillard, Perouz Taslakian, Alexandre Lacoste, Sébastien Lachapelle, Alexandre Drouin) [PDF ] ?[Workshop link ]
