Comments about co-location with other conferences

Conditioned on questionee being an author

1. Very strongly - Only COLT or UAI

2. RSS

3. Bioinformatics (like ISMB)

4. Co-locating two conferences that one was planning to attend anyway as major scientific events is not necessarily a good idea as it would mean extremely long trips of 2 weeks time. Adding a smaller event just prior to or at the end of the conference within a week seems fine.

5. aamas

6. AISTATS

7. NIPS

8. SIAM Conference on Data Mining

9. ISMB or another medical/bioinformatics conference would also be interesting.

10. ICANN

11. AIStats

12. IEEE ICDL-Epirob

13. Co-location seems full of potential issues, but I am partial to UAI.

14. not ECML-PKDD! Why does RSS appear twice?

15. None.

16. None.

17. Co-location does little for me. I'm too burnt out at the end of one conference to want to attend a second. I'd prefer them to be spaced out more.

18. It'd be nice to have the submission deadline not too close to KDD.

19. AAMAS

20. ICML co-locate with application oriented conference is better

21. is there a difference between RSS and RSS?
