<p> The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks
(ICANN) is the annual flagship conference of the European Neural
Network Society (ENNS).<br>
In 2020 the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics
(FMPI), Comenius University in Bratislava, together with the
Slovak Society for Cognitive Science, organize the 29th ICANN
Conference from the 15th to the 18th of September 2020 in
Bratislava, Slovakia.<br>
<br>
<b>CONFERENCE TOPICS</b><br>
ICANN 2020 is a dual-track conference featuring tracks in Brain
Inspired Computing and Machine Learning and Artificial Neural
Networks, with strong cross-disciplinary interactions and
applications. All research fields dealing with Neural Networks
will be present at the conference. A non-exhaustive list of topics
includes:<br>
<br>
Machine Learning: Deep Learning, Neural Network Theory, Neural
Network Models, Graphical Models, Bayesian Networks, Kernel
Methods, Generative Models, Information Theoretic Learning,
Reinforcement Learning, Relational Learning, Dynamical Models,
Recurrent Networks.<br>
<br>
Brain Inspired Computing: Cognitive models, Computational
Neuroscience, Self-organisation, Reinforcement Learning, Neural
Control and Planning, Hybrid Neural-Symbolic Architectures, Neural
Dynamics.<br>
<br>
Neural Applications for: Bioinformatics, Biomedicine, Intelligent
Robotics, Neurorobotics, Language Processing, Image Processing,
Sensor Fusion, Pattern Recognition, Data Mining, Neural Agents,
Brain-Computer Interaction, Neural Hardware, Evolutionary Neural
Networks.<br>
<br>
<b>CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS</b><br>
All scientific communications presented at ICANN 2020 will be
reviewed and scientifically evaluated by a panel of experts. The
conference will feature two categories of communications:<br>
- oral communications (15'+5')<br>
- poster communications<br>
<br>
Call for Special Sessions:<br>
ICANN2020 organizers cordially invite internationally recognised
experts to organise Special sessions and workshops within the
general scope of the conference. Special Session Proposal request
should be sent to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:icann2020@fmph.uniba.sk" moz-do-not-send="true">icann2020@fmph.uniba.sk</a><br>
<br>
Call for Papers:<br>
Authors willing to present original contributions in either oral
or poster category may submit:<br>
- A <b>full paper</b> of about 10-12 pages to be published in
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
with individual DOI.<br>
- An <b>extended abstract</b> of suggested 4 pages to be
published in Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series, without indexing.<br>
The number of oral slots is limited. In case the number of
requested oral presentations is larger than the available slots
the ICANN scientific committee will select which papers will be
reassigned to a poster session. This selection will be based on
the coherence of the programme and is totally independent of the
category of submission.<br>
Submission of communications will be online. More details will be
made available soon on the conference website: <a

<br>
<b>IMPORTANT DATES</b><br>
<b>Deadline for full papers and extended abstracts submission:
EXTENDED to 31 March 2020</b><br>
Notification of acceptance: 31 May 2020<br>
Camera-ready paper upload and registration opening: 15 June 2020<br>
Deadline for early registration at discount rate: 15 June 2020<br>
Conference dates: 15-18 September 2020<br>
<br>
<b>BEST PAPER AWARDS</b><br>
ENNS will sponsor a maximum of four best paper awards, two in the
Brain Inspired Computing track (one poster and one oral
communication) and, analogously, two in the Machine Learning
Research track. All awards will be presented during the final
ceremony.<br>
