NeurIPS Taipei Meetup 2021

Introduction

Welcome to the very first NeurIPS Taipei Meetup. The Meetup aims to connect scholars and students who are doing machine learning research in Taiwan. It consists of invited oral talks from Taiwanese authors with NeurIPS-accepted papers, lightning sharing sessions to explore NeurIPS collectively, and panels to learn from the experience of the panelists. The event is governed by the NeurIPS code of conduct.
