I have recently started taking interest in Machine Learning, Deep Learning and AI. I would like to attend good ML and AI conferences in Europe. Any recommendations?
For machine learning in general, there's NIPS, ICML, and JMLR. Nowadays these conferences/journal have a nice mix of theory and practice. For natural language processing the top ones are ACL (NACL/EACL) and EMNLP. The computer vision it's CVPR and ICCV. For robotics (which uses lots of machine learning) it's ICRA and IROS. IEEE may also have some relevant material.
ECAL and SAB are not mainstream AI conferences. They are niche artificial life / adaptive behaviour meetings and have a very different flavour and history.
IJCAI and AAAI are the mainstream long-running AI meetings.
NIPS and ICML are the recently-ascendent NN-heavy meetings.
do you know how to access the actual content? Clicking on „access replays“ brings you to „sale ended“. Clicking on „access platform“ leads to nowhere...
replays are available to people who purchased tickets, I dont think they were posted publicly anywhere. But you should keep your eye on them to see if they have another conference. It is suuuper cheap and online so its convenient (maybe not the highest quality talks, but still good).
Not sure about conferences in Europe, but NIPS will likely be held in Montréal in December 2018. NIPS is quite focussed on neural networks and tends to get attended by alot of heavy weights in the industry.
This is their first time running it. I went to qCon SF this year and I thought it was alright. They talked a bit about qCon AI and said that it was a machine learning conference that is targeted towards software engineers, not data scientists. They also mentioned that they would have a hands on lesson track.
KDD will be in London next year, this is the top conference in applied ML research. Actually solving problems using AI.
WWW will be in Lyon, this is also a tier 1 conference with a similar goal, mostly involved on web problems, eg search ranking.
I've always felt that ECML was the top Europe specific ML conference. Basically the little brother to ICML. ECML will be in Ireland, ICML will be in Sweden.
This guy has them right. I'd probably argue that CVPR is slightly more prestigious than ECCV/ICCV and NIPS is slightly more prestigious than ICLR/ICML, but deciding which conference to submit to is mostly related to "when is this research done".
For a robotics focus, ICRA and IROS are the big ones. IMHO ICRA is a bit bigger and better than IROS but it's close.
Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) is smaller but its paper acceptance is much more selective and it is becoming a very prestigious conference. It's also single-track, which makes it nice as an attendee (ICRA and IROS run probably eight to ten parallel tracks).
So there is a great conference series on practical Machine Learning and Data Science called PAPIs. It's organized in locations all over the world. The next one is PAPIs EUROPE in London in April and then PAPIs LATAM in São Paulo in June. The website is http://www.papis.io and you can see a selection of talks on the youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHMa1aYqXIQPnQD34W-ejQg
I already attended two PAPIS conferences in Boston, and are pretty good. It's not a massive conf, so I made great contacts from ML & AI-based companies.
SOCML (Self-Organizing Conference on Machine Learning) is really nice. Open discussions and interesting people. It's not the classic academic conference.

ICML and ~ICRL~ ICLR are pretty good too.
WWW will be in Lyon, this is also a tier 1 conference with a similar goal, mostly involved on web problems, eg search ranking.

List of Conferences on CV (in no particular order) 1. CVPR 2. ECCV 3. ICCV

Check their website, next conf is in London http://www.papis.io/
The A class conferences in AI field are: AAAI, CVPR, ICCV, ICML, IJCAI, NIPS, ACL.
