The Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (Q1961016) with proceedings series as Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems (Q15767446) is one of the leading machine learning (Q2539) scientific conference series. Papers with metadata is available at the website https://papers.nips.cc/. To my knowledge, there are usually no external identifiers linked with the information on the website. The papers have been crawled and added to Wikidata through Scholia (Q45340488). Most authors have not been resolved. There are individual pages for each authors (sometimes several pages due to lack of merging). A few Wikidata items for authors have been linked by described at URL (P973). A more principal approach would be to add a dedicated identifier, and hopefully get Mix'n'match (Q28054658) working on scraped data. — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 14:28, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
