Record-breaking number of DIKU-papers accepted at two top conferences

These numbers are higher than any previous years at DIKU.

The two conferences are ranked as the second (NeurIPS) and eighth (EMNLP) most impactful computer science conferences in the world* and thus, it’s some of the most important fora to have ones research published when doing computer science research.

- This is a great result for DIKU’s researchers and for Danish research in general, says professor Christina Lioma, Head of the Machine Learning Section at DIKU.

The research has been conducted in collaboration with researchers from a range of research institutions such as Google, DeepMind and Rigshospitalet and from universities in Greece, Italy, Scotland, Israel and Sweden.
