Welcome to NIPS Online

This site provides access to high-resolution scans of the entire book collection "Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems, Volumes 0-13", with full-text search and author/title search capabilities.

The NIPS Conference, which takes place in December every year since 1987, is the premier forum for researchers in Machine Learning, Neural Networks, and the growing overlap between Artificial Intelligence, Pattern Recognition, Computational Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Statistical Modeling, Non-linear Control, and Intelligent Signal Processing. This collection represents 13 years of NIPS proceedings. The 15,000 pages and 1958 articles in this collection include a large portion of the key contributions to the field.
