Reviews and comments:

1 Tony Jebara, February 26, 2010 at 9:17 p.m.:

Why are some of the videos for NIPS 2009 workshops locked and unviewable?

Tony Jebara

2 Simon Lacoste-Julien, March 3, 2010 at 12:30 a.m.:

Hi Tony, some videos are locked most probably because they are still being processed.

3 Davor Orlic (staff), March 29, 2010 at 8:57 p.m.:

Tony, Simon, the lectures are locked because some of the speakers didn't want to publish their talks due to new/unpublished scientific material/results.
