This week marks the beginning of the 34th annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2020), the biggest machine learning conference of the year. Held virtually for the first time, this conference includes invited talks, demonstrations and presentations of some of the latest in machine learning research. As a Platinum Sponsor of NeurIPS 2020, Google will have a strong presence with more than 180 accepted papers, additionally contributing to and learning from the broader academic research community via talks, posters, workshops and tutorials.
If you are registered for NeurIPS 2020, we hope you’ll visit our virtual booth and chat with our researchers about the projects and opportunities at Google that go into solving the world's most challenging research problems, and to see demonstrations of some of the exciting research we pursue, such as Transformers for image recognition, Tone Transfer, large-scale distributed RL, recreating historical streetscapes and much more. You can also learn more about our work being presented in the list below (Google affiliations highlighted in blue).
