Institutionswith the most Best Papers
Much of this data was entered byhand (obtained by contacting past conference organizers, retrieving cachedconference websites, and searching CVs) so please email me if you notice anyerrors or omissions: bestpaper-AT-jeffhuang.com. I tried to collect best paperawards from the top-tier conferences in each area, but some conferences do nothave such an award (e.g. SIGGRAPH, CAV). "Distinguished paper award"and "outstanding paper award" are included but not "best studentpaper" (e.g. NIPS) or "best 10-year old paper" (e.g. POPL)
