By the way, just this evening I formatted the accepted papers in a nicer way: (okay, I'm biased)<p><a href="http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/nips2013/" rel="nofollow">http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/nips2013/</a><p>The page allows you to toggle LDA topics and off to browse the papers, or (my personal favorite) find a paper you like and sort the other papers according to tf-idf similarity, which tends to reveal exceptionally relevant papers.
This is an interesting case study in how the submitted headline affects the page's rank on HN.<p>I'd originally submitted this earlier today, with the headline "Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) 2013 Proceedings": <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6815771" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6815771</a><p>It only got one other upvote and never made it to the front page. Meanwhile, another article submitted at almost exactly the same time with far less interesting content but a more provocative headline (on a user getting banned from Uber for API abuse) got ~15 votes, pushing it onto the front page.<p>I re-submitted this page with a slightly more descriptive (and buzzwordy) headline ("State of the art Machine Learning papers: NIPS 2013"), and it almost immediately ended up on the front page. Since then the headline has been reverted to the page's headline, again slowing the rate at which it's received votes.
Alexandre Passos has an excellent editorial selection of NIPS 2013 papers (along with some comments) on his blog at [1].<p>[1]: <a href="http://atpassos.me/post/67560831508/nips-2013-reading-list" rel="nofollow">http://atpassos.me/post/67560831508/nips-2013-reading-list</a>.
Now the game is : Among these tons of (bad/good) applied mathematics , find the maybe existing one paper that will :
- Have a real world application
- Go through the years<p>More difficult : only by reading titles.
