Travelling is at a premium for me nowadays, but I couldn't say no to this one. This Friday, I'll be in Boston talking about connections between mean estimation subject to robustness, privacy, and heavy-tailed data. The "right" algorithm (not empirical mean) is the same for all!

NeurIPS acceptance as weak quality signal versus selective conferences
By

As an addendum, to contrast this with NeurICMLR, which have become a "big tent": fixing acceptance rate at ~25% leads to more topics and papers being welcome, which has pros and cons. A consequence is that, in contrast, being accepted to NeurIPS is a very weak signal of quality.
