NeurIPS 2021 Call for Post-Conference Workshops
Monday, December 13, and Tuesday, December 14, 2021
Virtual
Submit at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/NEURIPSW2021
Following the NeurIPS 2021 main conference, workshops on a variety of current topics will be held on Mon 13 Dec and Tue 14 Dec 2021. We invite researchers interested in chairing one of these workshops to submit proposals. Workshop organizers have several responsibilities, including coordinating workshop participation and content, publicizing and providing the program in a timely manner, and moderating the program throughout the workshop.
Goal of NeurIPS Workshops
Workshops provide an informal, cutting edge venue for discussion of work in progress and future directions. Good workshops have helped to crystallize common problems, explicitly contrast competing frameworks, and clarify essential questions for a subfield or application area. Workshops are a structured means of bringing together people with common interests to form communities. Good workshops should include some form of community building.
There will be seven hours of workshop meetings per day, split into morning and afternoon sessions, with free time between the sessions for individual exchange.
Potential workshop topics range from Neuroscience, Reinforcement Learning, Computational Social Science & Economics, Learning Theory, Robotics, Probabilistic Models and Inference, Computer Vision, Speech, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning to Industrial Applications, as well as any other topic relevant to an appreciable fraction of the NeurIPS community. Detailed descriptions of previous workshops may be found in last year's online schedule.
Workshop schedules should encourage lively debates, stimulate the production of new ideas and the discussion of controversial issues. To this end, workshop proposals should be designed to attract a medium-sized audience.

Funding
NeurIPS does not provide travel funding for workshop speakers. In the past, some workshops have sought and received funding from external sources to bring in outside speakers. The organizers of each accepted workshop can name up to fifteen individuals per day of the workshop to receive complimentary workshop registration. Additional support for NeurIPS 2021 workshops held as hybrid or in person will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
