*ESANN** 2014 Special Session - "**Advances in Spiking Neural Information
Processing Systems (SNIPS)**" - CALL FOR PAPERS** *

European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational
Intelligence and Machine Learning (ESANN 2014). 23-25 April 2014, Bruges,
Belgium - *http://www.esann.org*
 ------------------------------

Submissions are invited for next year ESANN Special Session "Advances in
Spiking Neural Information Processing Systems
(SNIPS)"<https://www.elen.ucl.ac.be/esann/index.php?pg=specsess#Advances
in Spiking
Neural Information Processing Systems (SNIPS)>.

*Organizers*:

Sander Bohte (CWI, The Netherlands)

André Grüning (University of Surrey, United Kingdom)



*ABSTRACT*

Spiking neural networks have been heralded as "the third generation" of
neural networks quite a while ago already. Over the last decade, various
spiking neural network models have been proposed, alongside a similar
increasing interest in spiking models of computation in computational
neuroscience. Still, state-of-the-art neural networks, like deep learning
models, are based on traditional neural networks. In this special session,
we want to bring together advances in spiking neural networks that
challenge, or go beyond, the current state-of-the-art in neural networks.


*TOPICS*

In this special session, we are looking to bring together researchers
interested in developing and applying learning algorithms for spiking
neural networks that

·       make use of learning,

·       are supervised or unsupervised,

·       aim to be biologically plausible,

·       aim to be cognitively plausible or

·       aim to be technically efficient.

Examples of such work could include probabilistic, efficient, logical
and/or dynamical spiking computation.

*SUBMISSION & IMPORTANT DATES*

We kindly invite you to submit a paper to this special session. Each paper
will undergo to a peer reviewing process for its acceptance. Paper
submission should be done exclusively through the ESANN portal following
the instructions provided in: (http://www.elen.ucl.ac.be/esann/*)*.

Kind regards,

Sander Bohte and André Grüning
