Glad to attend NIPS 2016 in Barcelona, a beautiful costal city in Spain. It is lucky for a football fan to join a party in Nou Camp.

There are many famous researchers including LeCun, Schmidhuber and other yound research scientists in DeepMind and OpenAI. They give talks, introduce posts, communicate and share ideas. I like such atmosphere.

An impressive work is “Learning to learn by gradient descent by gradient descent” by M.Andrychowicz et.al. in DeepMind. I read its previous version in arxiv and asked the authors at poster room in the first evening. You can not imagine how popular the DeepMind’s paper was. I waited for almost half of an hour to ask the author several questions.
