The Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) is a machine learning and computational neuroscience conference held every December. The conference is a single track meeting that includes invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers, followed by parallel-track workshops that up to 2013 were held at ski resorts. According to Microsoft Academic Search, NIPS is the top conference on machine learning.

Comparison of top contributors at NIPS 2015 by number of paper accepts

US tops the chart and has been the top research contributor with the highest number of accepts. UK stands second with an marginal increase in paper accepts from 2014, whereas India and China both dropped, with lesser number of accepts in 2015.
