<br>
Bratislava, Slovakia<br>
14 - 17 September 2021<br>
=============================================================<br>
<br>
The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN)
is the<br>
annual flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society
(ENNS).<br>
In 2021 the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics
(FMPI), Comenius<br>
University in Bratislava, together with the Slovak Society for
Cognitive<br>
Science, organize the 30th ICANN Conference from the 14th to the
17th of<br>
September 2021 in Bratislava, Slovakia.<br>
<br>
<b>Possibility of online/hybrid event:</b> in case the
organization of a physical<br>
event will not be possible because of COVID-19 travel/gathering
restrictions,<br>
the conference will happen online.<br>
<b><br>
</b><b>CONFERENCE TOPICS</b><br>
ICANN 2021 is a dual-track conference featuring tracks in Brain
Inspired<br>
Computing and Machine Learning and Artificial Neural Networks,
with strong<br>
cross-disciplinary interactions and applications. All research
fields dealing<br>
with Neural Networks will be present at the conference. A
non-exhaustive list<br>
of topics includes:<br>
<br>
Machine Learning: Deep Learning, Neural Network Theory, Neural
Network Models,<br>
Graphical Models, Bayesian Networks, Kernel Methods, Generative
Models,<br>
Information Theoretic Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Relational
Learning,<br>
Dynamical Models, Recurrent Networks.<br>
<br>
Brain Inspired Computing: Cognitive models, Computational
Neuroscience,<br>
Self-organisation, Reinforcement Learning, Neural Control and
Planning, Hybrid<br>
Neural-Symbolic Architectures, Neural Dynamics, Cognitive
Neuroscience, Brain<br>
Informatics, Perception and action.<br>
<br>
Neural Applications for: Bioinformatics, Biomedicine, Intelligent
Robotics,<br>
Neurorobotics, Language Processing, Image Processing, Sensor
Fusion, Pattern<br>
Recognition, Data Mining, Neural Agents, Brain-Computer
Interaction, Neural<br>
Hardware, Evolutionary Neural Networks.<br>

<b>CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS</b><br>
All scientific communications presented at ICANN 2021 will be
reviewed and<br>
scientifically evaluated by a panel of experts. The conference
will feature two<br>
categories of communications:<br>
- oral communications (15'+5')<br>
- poster communications.<br>
<br>
<b>Call for Special Sessions</b><br>
ICANN 2021 organizers cordially invite internationally recognised
experts to<br>
organise Special sessions and workshops within the general scope
of the<br>
conference. Special Session Proposal request should be sent to<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:icann2021@fmph.uniba.sk" moz-do-not-send="true">icann2021@fmph.uniba.sk</a><br>
<br>
<b>CALL FOR PAPERS</b><br>
Authors willing to present original contributions in either oral
or poster<br>
category may submit:<br>
- A full paper of maximum 12 pages (including references) to be
published in<br>
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
with individual<br>
DOI.<br>
- An extended abstract of maximum 4 pages to be published in
Springer-Verlag<br>
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, without indexing.<br>
<br>
The number of oral slots is limited. In case the number of
requested oral<br>
presentations is larger than the available slots the ICANN
scientific committee<br>
will select which papers will be reassigned to a poster session.
This selection<br>
will be based on the coherence of the programme and is totally
independent of<br>
the category of submission.<br>
Submission of communications will be on the conference website:<br>
