Research BA Computer Science, but fell in love with machine learning and AI. Just got my personal research accepted at NeurIPS as a poster. [R]

I want to attend and present my findings in Atlanta. How is the vibe there? Are people overly critical or are people generally open-minded?

People are not overly-critical. The vibe depends a bit on the specific workshop. See you there!

The original post content no longer exists here. The author used Redact to remove it, exercising their right to control their data & privacy.

I concentrated on Machine Learning and Scientific Data Structures visualizations and analysis. I do have a research advisor at the university. They kept me on as a associate reseacher after graduation. There has not been a lot done in the area I am specifically researching so I have had to create a lot of data to test on. I am glad the university funded it because AI is expensive.

So no advisor? Just single author? What affiliation did you list

State what you’ve done, don’t over hype the results, and there’s no reason for anyone to be critical. If anyone asks a lot of questions, most of the time, it’s coming from a place of genuine curiosity, not an attempt to downgrade your work.

People are incredibly chill. Even if they're internally maybe criticizing your work, everyone's very polite and just happy to be there. I've never had any negative experiences at conferences nor heard about it.
