Voices of minority continues to be subdued. Having a poll asking if @NipsConference is an appropriate name for a conference is a terrible idea. people like @elonmusk joke about nips and tits on stage. a hedge fund prints a tshirt about nips being np-hard. what more do we want?https://twitter.com/wimlds/status/1055247463659929600 …
And this is what #google #imagesearch for #nips shows up. If #AI scientists @GoogleAI haven't fixed that nips also means the most important #AI conference @NipsConference do we expect the juvenile idiots thronging the conference to get the message to be professionalpic.twitter.com/BQfVIyPqVa
It is important to channel all the outrage I have seen on @twitter on @Change survey I created: #ProtestNIPS: NIPS acronym encourages sexism and is a slur. Change the name @NipsConference
Yes, absolutely. For many years, I cringed a little bit about the name but thought it wasn't a big deal in the grand scheme. But all of the reports of inappropriate behavior at last year's conf caused me to realize that I was wrong.
Disappointed with this outcome. I thought the community would overwhelmingly vote to change the name. Seemed rather an obvious choice given the ugly incidents you point out.
Indeed -- what a way for the community to collectively say they aren't interested in being welcoming. Deciding this based on a poll was a massive leadership fail.
There was also this business:https://twitter.com/yarbsalocin/status/1054865091663982593 …
The question is do you really think you can outsmart teenage humor? If it's not NIPS, I am dead positive you can build a sexual innuendo with whatever you replace it with.
