Do you want to connect with the European AI research community?

NeurIPS Europe is coming to Paris (Dec 9th-13th) and we are looking for sponsors to help to make it happen. Tiers from Bronze (10k€) to Platinum (60k€).

FAQ:

NeurIPS Europe is an official NeurIPS 2026 satellite event taking place in Paris, France, alongside the main conf in Sydney and the other satellite event in Atlanta.

NeurIPS authors can present their papers at any of the three locations, subject to space availability.

In my team we have two open positions on AI for robotics and in particular on manipulation, for junior and senior researchers.

With us, connect fundamental research with real operational problems and contribute to emerging AI-driven robotics services.

@Chiranjibai This just means that all these trends will accelerate.

My 2 cents on the impact of Agentic AI on peer review: it's not looking good.

[NeurIPS Conference @NeurIPSConf]

We want to speak directly to the concern many of you have expressed, and we owe you a clear explanation of what happened, why it happened, and where we stand now. We understand this situation caused genuine alarm and we take that seriously.

In preparing the NeurIPS 2026 handbook, we included a link to a US government sanctions tool that covers a significantly broader set of restrictions than those NeurIPS is actually required to follow. This error was due to miscommunication between the NeurIPS Foundation and our legal team; there was never an intention to restrict participation beyond our mandatory compliance obligations. The responsibility for that error is ours as an organization, and we deeply apologize for the alarm and impact this miscommunication had on our community.

We have updated the link and clarified the text of our policy, which is consistent with that of ACM and IEEE, as well as other international conferences and NeurIPS in the past. As in previous years, NeurIPS welcomes submissions from all compliant institutions and individuals.

We want to reiterate that NeurIPS is a community-driven event, created by and for the community, and strives to be inclusive. The NeurIPS 2026 organizing committee was particularly saddened to learn of this institutional miscommunication. The organizing committee has taken on the responsibility of running the conference this year with the goal of fostering open communication, knowledge sharing, and global scientific discourse.

We thank the community for bringing this issue to our attention and working with us through this situation.

Today NeurIPS is announcing our official satellite event in Paris.

After responding to the call from Ellis following the success of EurIPS in December, we are pleased to reach a new milestone by joining forces with the NeurIPS organizing committee for the 2026 edition!

[Christian Wolf (🦋🦋🦋) @chriswolfvision]

I will present "Kinaema" this FRI at 11am at NeurIPS 2025 in San Diego. Drop by if you are interested in sequence models for robotics (recurrent transformers), map-free pose estimation from memory and navigation!

Last week’s #AI4Robotics workshop was fabulous & fabulously full😊 If you missed out we've good news -
📽️ All 15 talk recordings are now online 🚀! https://t.co/gTXCQkjH9M
Catch up on cutting-edge work in #robot perception, action & autonomy - from #SLAM & control to computer vision & large-scale learning!

[Christian Wolf (🦋🦋🦋) @chriswolfvision]

@fdellaert @naverlabseurope Hi Frank, we certainly had wished you'd also be here 😀 Next time! The talks will be released.

[Christian Wolf (🦋🦋🦋) @chriswolfvision]

Andrea Vedaldi talks about 4D reconstruction, leveraging 4D generation, but also representations based on dynamic point maps which encode points for different viewpoints AND different time steps.

@zhiwen_fan_ @naverlabseurope Hi, yes, the talks will be released.

[Christian Wolf (🦋🦋🦋) @chriswolfvision]

Aniruddha Kembhavi presents Wayve's efforts on GAIA world models and their usage for not only deriving policies but also evaluation. They can even perform in-context learning, videos of applying failure cases to new initial conditions.

Justin Carpentier on simulation, data, optimal control and RL, and on the fantastic Pinocchio simulator and optimization suite.

@anikembhavi @naverlabseurope I am sorry, I should have tagged you!

Nicolas Mansard: in locomotion / legged motion, when we worked on MPC (model predictive control) we were a team of 10 working on the robot and it barely worked. Now with RL (Reinforcement Learning) a single student can get a policy in 3 months, including training of the student.
