CFP

Paper submission deadline: January 20, 2019

WSOM+ invites contributions related to the theoretical and 
methodological aspects of Unsupervised Learning, Self-Organizing Maps, 
Learning Vector Quantization, Clustering, Data Visualization and closely 
related topics. We also call for and encourage scientific and 
application-oriented papers that demonstrate the use of the 
aforementioned methods and models in fields of knowledge.
For the full CFP and further details on dates, submission, registration, 
venue, committees, and the city at large, please visit

The WSOM+ 2019 proceedings will be published as a book in Springer’s 
Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing (AISC) series.

Barcelona awaits your participation in the 13th WSOM+ conference! This 
is a welcoming and inclusive city, home to thriving Machine Learning and 
Computational Intelligence communities. Hosted by the Intelligent Data 
Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (IDEAI) Research Center at 
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC BarcelonaTech), WSOM+ 2019 
aims to build on a successful string of editions that started more than 
two decades ago with WSOM’97 in Helsinki. The conference is meant to be 
an international reference for research in unsupervised learning, 
self-organizing systems, Learning Vector Quantization and data 
visualization.
Submit your contributions to WSOM+2019 and meet us in the Barcelona summer!
