Where is thirty one national conference 2018

More information about the schedule and virtual conference will become available on the NeurIPS blog. In an effort to provide a safe, productive, and worthwhile forum for both attendees and sponsors alike, the annual NeurIPS conference will remain fully virtual for Although there is no opportunity for sponsorship this year, NeurIPS is hosting a complimentary careers website for companies, non-profits and academics to post jobs, postdoctoral positions, or fellowships.

For further information, please contact sponsors eventhosts. The Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation is a non-profit corporation whose purpose is to foster the exchange of research advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, principally by hosting an annual interdisciplinary academic conference with the highest ethical standards for a diverse and inclusive community. The conference was founded in and is now a multi-track interdisciplinary annual meeting that includes invited talks, demonstrations, symposia, and oral and poster presentations of refereed papers.

The recognized entities are used to enrich the Greek legislation knowledge graph with more detailed information about persons, organizations, geopolitical entities, legislation references, geographical landmarks and public document references.

We also interlink the textual references of the recognized entities to the corresponding entities represented in other open public datasets and, in this way, we enable new sophisticated ways of querying Greek legislation. Relying on the results of the aforementioned methods we generate and publish a new dataset of geographical landmarks mentioned in Greek legislation. We make available publicly all datasets and other resources used in our study. Our work is the first of its kind for the Greek language in such an extended form and one of the few that examines legal text in a full spectrum, for both entity recognition and linking.

We discuss the lessons learned from implementing a CATO style system using factors with magnitude. In particular we identify that giving factors magnitudes enables a diversity of reasoning styles and arguments. We distinguish a variety of ways in which factors combine to determine abstract factors. We discuss several different roles for values. Finally we identify the additional value related information required to produce a working program: thresholds and weights as well as a simple preference ordering.

Smart contracts have been proposed as executable implementations enforcing real-life contracts. Unfortunately, the semantic gap between these allows for the smart contract to diverge from its intended deontic behaviour. In this paper we show how a deontic contract can be used for real-time monitoring of smart contracts specifically and request-based interactive systems in general, allowing for the identification of any violations. The deontic logic of actions we present takes into account the possibility of action failure which we can observe in smart contracts , allowing us to consider novel monitorable semantics for deontic norms.

For example, taking a rights-based view of permissions allows us to detect the violation of a permission when a permitted action is not allowed to succeed. A case study is presented showing this approach in action for Ethereum smart contracts.

Representation and reasoning over legal rules is an important application domain and a number of related approaches have been developed. In this work, we investigate legal reasoning in practice based on three use cases of increasing complexity.

We consider three representation and reasoning approaches: a Answer Set Programming, b Argumentation and c Defeasible Logic.

Representation and reasoning approaches are evaluated with respect to semantics, expressiveness, efficiency, complexity and support. In this work, we outline an approach for question answering over regulatory documents. In contrast to traditional means to access information in the domain, the proposed system attempts to deliver an accurate and precise answer to user queries.

This is accomplished by a two-step approach which first selects relevant paragraphs given a question; and then compares the selected paragraph with user query to predict a span in the paragraph as the answer. We employ neural network based solutions for each step, and compare them with existing, and alternate baselines. We perform our evaluations with a gold-standard benchmark comprising over questions on the MaRisk regulatory document.

In our experiments, we observe that our proposed system outperforms other baselines. Despite the long time for preparation, privacy policies of online platforms and services still often fail to comply with information duties and the standard of lawfulness of data processing.

In this paper we present a new methodology for processing privacy policies under GDPR's provisions, and a novel annotated corpus, to be used by machine learning systems to automatically check the compliance and adequacy of privacy policies.

Preliminary results confirm the potential of the methodology. Legal contract analysis is an important research area. The classification of clauses or sentences enables valuable insights such as the extraction of rights and obligations. However, datasets consisting of contracts are quite rare, particularly regarding German language. Therefore this paper experiments the portability of machine learning ML models with regard to different document types.

We trained different ML classifiers on the tenancy law of the German Civil Code BGB to apply the resulting models on a set of rental agreements afterwards. The performance of our models varies on the contract set.

Some models perform significantly worse, while certain settings reveal a portability. Additionally, we trained and evaluated the same classifiers on a dataset consisting solely of contracts, to be able to observe a reference performance. We could show that the performance of ML models may depend on the document type used for training, while certain setups result in portable models. The paper presents three experimental platforms for legal analytics, online environments integrating heterogeneous computational heuristics, information processing, and visualization techniques to extract actionable knowledge from legal data.

Our goal is to explore innovative approaches to issues spanning from information retrieval to the quantitative analysis of legal corpora or to the study of criminal organizations for research and investigative purposes.

After a brief introduction to the e-science paradigm and to the role played in it by research platforms, we focus on visual analytics as a viable way to interact with legal data. We then present the tools, their main features and the results so far obtained. The paper ends up with some considerations about the computational turn of science and its role in promoting a much needed interdisciplinary and empirical evolution of legal research.

My husband and I decided that it was going to be worth the financial struggle. I DO understand when there are health reasons or personal reason, you cant attend. Get with people on your team that are going and create an event that the new products can be shared. I am really excited and cant wait to share with the team what we will be getting!

I'm with Thirty One as well and we got a bunch of products just for attending. I know we can purchase the surprise packs as well. Also, what kind of items are in the store for us to purchase? I am local and want to make sure I have enough room to take everything home!!

Jan 19, 2, KDurava said:. Safe travels to all those attending conference! You will love all the excitement and enthusiasm these next few days. Please feel free to share some spoilers for those of us who were unable to attend.

Feb 12, 33 I wasn't able to get away this year - looking forward to some spoilers on here! Jul 7, 1, So eager to hear news and about new products. Jan 25, Stacie B. Your invitation will be in your welcome packet when you arrive! HO will be there to help with any issues at all. Please be flexible because details can and will change. Go with the flow. Being away from family is hard, make sure family knows you are going, going, going all day, every day and it may be hard to check in throughout day.

They will be better prepared and understand ahead of time. FUN IDEA: Leave your kids a box of surprises for each day your gone with a letter … you can do it as a scavenger hunt… or maybe do gift card for movies, etc.? Give your husband, babysitter in-laws? Capris, nice shorts and 31 t-shirts or nice tops or summery dresses are perfect. Always keep a sweater and a pair of flip flops with you as an extra pair of shoes for tired feet!

You will get a conference t-shirt when you check in, you probably have a team t-shirt to wear on Sunday, and you may end up buying a shirt from the conference store.

Sunday team shirt day - Wear your Team T-shirt if you ordered one from me or your Director.
