The Twenty-Fourth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, which is the premier scientific meeting on Neural Computation, will be held from December 6-9 at the Hyatt Regency in Vancouver, Canada. The NIPS Conference features a single track program, with contributions from a large number of intellectual communities.

Presentation topics include: Algorithms and Architectures; Applications; Brain Imaging; Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence; Control and Reinforcement Learning; Emerging Technologies; Learning Theory; Neuroscience; Speech and Signal Processing; and Visual Processing. The Conference begins on the evening of Monday, December 6, 2010 with the Poster and Demo Sessions.  Instead of a seated banquet, dinner will be served at food and beverage stations located on the second and third floors so you may dine while enjoying the posters and demonstrations.

Following the regular program of the Neural Information Processing Systems 2010 conference, a special symposium in memory of Sam Roweis will take place during the afternoon of Thursday, December 9, 2010, in the same place (Hyatt Regency, Vancouver, BC, Canada).

The Post-Conference Workshop Program takes place in Whistler, B.C. at the Westin Resort and Spa and the Hilton Whistler Resort and Spa Friday, December 10 and Saturday, December 11, 2010. There will be 14 or more workshops covering a wide range of topics from Neuroscience to Machine Learning.  The workshop program schedule allows time for informal discussions, skiing and other winter sports.
