All good venues, but LLMs/Agents/etc seem to have eaten much of the lunch of several other subfields at the top 3 conferences.\n\nGod help us all.\n\n\\*\\*p.s.\\*\\* the list: [https://danyaljj.github.io/neurips2026-workshops/](https://danyaljj.github.io/neurips2026-workshops/)\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[52 upvotes] Well, causal inference has always had a hard time finding which discipline it fits into. Just because it's not in NeurIPS doesn't mean it's dying. \n\n[24 upvotes] Since when do you need a workshop to be a relevant field? There will be many papers on causal inference at NeurIPS…\n\nAll this means is that nobody stepped up to the plate to organize a workshop…\n\n[15 upvotes] The whole Neurips workshop setup is a mess, having 3 locations + no remote option means many people will send to whatever workshop they can attend instead of the right one.\n\n[7 upvotes] Lots of good stuff at ACIC as well.\n\n[5 upvotes] I cringe a little bit every time when \"causal\" is used to simply mean \"left to right\" even when we are clearly modelling an inherently non-causal sequence...",
