We are excited to announce Latent Space LIVE at NeurIPS 2024! This will be the AI Engineer-focused remote+IRL event complementing NeurIPS with 3 categories:

We’ve really enjoyed running both the Latent Space academic conference coverage ( NeurIPS 2023, ICLR 2024) and the Latent Space Paper Club (this essay) and view it as an essential part of our AI Engineering education. The Why of Paper Clubs is simple: 1) shared accountability, 2) learning to read papers/familiarize with a field by spaced repetition, 3) staying close to “ground truth” of papers rather than social media shallow discussion, 4) developing a critical mind as aware of the flaws in many papers as there are quality effort in them. We’ve greatly benefited from crossing the 100-paper-mark at the LSPC and wanted to share some advice for others.
