NIPS 2017

NIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems) is a top conference in machine learning.  I visited NIPS 2016 in Barcelona and it was a really awesome experience. This year it was in the USA (4/12 - 9/12).
The demand for the machine learning conference growths dramatically. Here is a funny picture of
Alex Lebrun‏@lxbrun with a title "NIPS conference registrations, 2002 through 2017":

This year conference had 6000 attendees. Visitors need to stay in the registration queue for approx. 2 hours. But, maybe,  thanks to that we have the ability to see the video from NIPS on the official NIPS FB page: https://www.facebook.com/nipsfoundation/.

I was really impressed by Peter Abeel keynote:
