Key trends from NeurIPS 2019

With 51 workshops, 1428 accepted papers, and 13k attendees, saying that NeurIPS is overwhelming is an understatement. I did my best to summarize the key trends I got from the conference. This post is generously edited by the wonderful Andrey Kurenkov. Disclaimer: This post doesn't reflect the view of any of the organizations I'm associated with. NeurIPS is huge with a lot to take in, so I might get something wrong.
