<b> Submission deadline extended to: 13 April 2022</b><br>
<br>
Bristol, United Kingdom - <b>Hybrid event</b><br>
6 - 9 September 2022<br>
=============================================================<br>
<br>
The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN)
is the annual<br>
flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society (ENNS).
In 2022 the<br>
Department of Computer Science and Creative Technologies of the
University of<br>
the West of England, in Bristol, United Kingdom will organise
ICANN 2022.<br>
This will be held at Frenchay Campus from 6 to 9 September 2022. <br>
<br>
The conference is currently planned as a <b>hybrid event</b> with
some presence and<br>
some online participation if possible. We will continuously
monitor the situation<br>
in the next few months according to the overall health
developments. <br>
<b><br>
</b><b>CONFERENCE TOPICS</b><br>
ICANN 2022 is a conference featuring tracks in Brain-inspired
Computing and<br>
Machine Learning in Artificial Neural Networks, with strong
cross-disciplinary<br>
interactions and applications. All research fields dealing with
Neural Networks<br>
will be present at the conference. A non-exhaustive list of topics
includes:<br>
<br>
<b>Machine Learning</b>: 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, Ethics of AI.<br>
<br>
<b>Brain-inspired Computing</b>: Cognitive models, Computational
Neuroscience,<br>
Self-organisation, Bioinspired Learning, Neural Control and
Planning, Hybrid<br>
Neural-Symbolic Architectures, Neural Dynamics, Cognitive
Neuroscience, Brain<br>
Informatics, Perception and Action.<br>
<br>
<b>Neural Applications for</b>: Bioinformatics, Biomedicine,
Intelligent Robotics,<br>
Neurorobotics, Language Processing, Speech and Image Processing,
Sensor Fusion,<br>
Pattern Recognition, Data Mining, Neural Agents, Brain-Computer
Interaction,<br>
Neural Hardware, Evolutionary Neural Networks.<br>
<br>
<b>CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS</b><br>
All scientific communications presented at ICANN 2022 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 and Workshops</b><br>
ICANN 2022 organizers cordially invite internationally recognised
experts to<br>
organise Special sessions and Workshops within the general scope
of the<br>
conference. Proposals should be sent to <a

href="mailto:ICANN2022@uwe.ac.uk" moz-do-not-send="true">ICANN2022@uwe.ac.uk</a><br>
<br>
<b>CALL FOR PAPERS</b><br>
Authors willing to present original contributions in either the
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>
