The NIPS Workshop on Multi-class and Multi-label Learning in Extremely Large Label Spaces
Saturday, 12th December 2015, Montreal, Canada
Extreme Delights
Please click on the talk title to access the slides presented at the workshop.

The workshop venue is Room 511f on level 5 of the NIPS convention centre. Participants at this year's workshop will have an option of staying back during the lunch break for John Langford's Vowpal Wabbit 8.1 tutorial from 13:15 - 14:15. This is an additional feature not directly related to the workshop, though John might touch upon extreme multi-class algorithms, and participants are free to choose between lunch and the tutorial (fast eaters can choose both!)
