We will continue our best of NIPS series tomorrow, with Pascal and
Ian. They will be presenting the following papers:

Pascal: "A Stochastic Gradient Method with an Exponential Convergence
Rate for Finite Training Sets Nicolas Le Roux, Mark Schmidt, Francis
Bach.

Ian: "Practical Bayesian Optimization of Machine Learning Algorithms"
Jasper Snoek, Hugo Larochelle, Ryan P. Adams  + my experiences trying
out Jasper's spearmint-lite software

We will take a break next week because of ICML, but will be back the
week after for one final talk by Yann Dauphin (That's right Yann, we
haven't forgotten you !),
