NIPS Workshop:  Benchmarking of NN learning algorithms
********************************************************


Abstract: Proper benchmarking of neural network
learning architectures is a prerequisite for orderly
progress in this field. In many published papers
deficiencies can be observed in the benchmarking that is
performed.
The workshop addresses the status quo of benchmarking,
common errors and how to avoid them, currently existing
benchmark collections, and, most prominently, a new
benchmarking facility including a results database.
The workshop goal is to improve benchmarking practices
and to improve the comparability of benchmark tests.
