Scope and topics
----------------
Since its first happening in 1993, the European Symposium on Artificial
Neural Networks has become the reference for researchers on fundamentals and
theoretical aspects of artificial neural networks, computational
intelligence, machine learning and related topics. Each year, around 100
specialists attend ESANN, in order to present their latest results and
comprehensive surveys, and to discuss the future developments in this field.
The ESANN 2012 conference will follow this tradition, while adapting its
scope to the recent developments in the field. The ESANN conferences cover
artificial neural networks, machine learning, statistical information
processing and computational intelligence. Mathematical foundations,
algorithms and tools, and applications are covered.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of machine learning, computational
intelligence and artificial neural networks topics covered during the ESANN
conferences:
THEORY and MODELS
Statistical and mathematical aspects of learning
Feedforward models
Kernel machines
Graphical models, EM and Bayesian learning
Vector quantization and self-organizing maps
Recurrent networks and dynamical systems
Blind signal processing
Ensemble learning
Nonlinear projection and data visualization
Fuzzy neural networks
Evolutionary computation
Bio-inspired systems
INFORMATION PROCESSING and APPLICATIONS
Data mining
Signal processing and modeling
Approximation and identification
Classification and clustering
Feature extraction and dimension reduction
Time series forecasting
Multimodal interfaces and multichannel processing
Adaptive control
Vision and sensory systems
Biometry
Bioinformatics
Brain-computer interfaces
Neuroinformatics
Papers will be presented orally (single track) and in poster sessions; all
posters will be complemented by a short oral presentation during a plenary
session. It is important to mention that the topics of a paper decide if it
better fits into an oral or a poster session, not its quality. The selection
of posters will be identical to oral presentations, and both will be printed
in the same way in the proceedings. Nevertheless, authors must indicate
their preference for oral or poster presentation when submitting their
paper.
Venue
------
The conference will be held in Bruges (also called "Venice of the North"),
one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe. Bruges can be reached
by train from Brussels in less than one hour (frequent trains). Designated
as the "Venice of the North", the city has preserved all the charms of the
medieval heritage. Its centre, which is inscribed on the Unesco World
Heritage list, is in itself a real open air museum.
The conference will be organized in a hotel located near the centre (walking
distance) of the town. There is no obligation for the participants to stay
in this hotel. Hotels of all levels of comfort and price are available in
Bruges; there is a possibility to book a room in the hotel of the conference
at a preferential rate through the conference secretariat. A list of other
smaller hotels is also available.
The conference will be held at the Novotel hotel, Katelijnestraat 65B, 8000
Brugge, Belgium.
Proceedings and journal special issue
-------------------------------------
The proceedings will include all communications presented to the conference
(tutorials, oral and posters), and will be available on-site. Extended
versions of selected papers will be published in the Neurocomputing journal
(Elsevier).
Call for contributions
----------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions before
November 30, 2011. The electronic submission procedure is described on the
ESANN portal http://www.esann.org/.
Authors must also commit themselves that they will register to the
conference and present the paper in case of acceptation of their submission
(one paper per registrant). Authors of accepted papers will have to
register before February 29, 2012; they will benefit from the advance
registration fee. The ESANN conference applies a strict policy about the
presentation of accepted papers during the conference: authors of accepted
papers who do not show up at the conference will be blacklisted for future
ESANN conferences, and the lists will be communicated to other conference
organizers.
