Google, Intel, MIT, and more: a NeurIPS conference AI research tour ZDNet

Points clouds of an object, in this case a plane, are broken apart; if a neural network can be trained to reassemble the object, it can develop a capacity to predict the parts of the object without having the point clouds labeled, a form of self-supervised learning. This Sunday begins the annual NeurIPS conference on artificial intelligence, one of the most prominent gatherings in the field. It's being held this year in Vancouver, British Columbia. As always, the first thing you want to do, even before the conference starts, is to look over the accepted research papers. All the papers are posted on the NeurIPS Web site, so you can take a tour of this year's research before going, or even without going at all.
