The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN) is 
the annual flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society 
(ENNS).
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.

*CONFERENCE TOPICS*
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:

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.

Brain Inspired Computing: Cognitive models, Computational Neuroscience, 
Self-organisation, Reinforcement Learning, Neural Control and Planning, 
Hybrid Neural-Symbolic Architectures, Neural Dynamics.

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.

*CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS*
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:
- oral communications (15'+5')
- poster communications

Call for Special Sessions:
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 
icann2020 at fmph.uniba.sk

Call for Papers:
Authors willing to present original contributions in either oral or 
poster category may submit:
- A *full paper* of about 10-12 pages to be published in Springer-Verlag 
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series with individual DOI.
- An *extended abstract* of suggested 4 pages to be published in 
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, without 
indexing.
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.
Submission of communications will be online. More details will be made 
available soon on the conference website: https://e-nns.org/icann2020/

*IMPORTANT DATES*
*Deadline for full papers and extended abstracts submission: EXTENDED to 
31 March 2020*
Notification of acceptance: 31 May 2020
Camera-ready paper upload and registration opening: 15 June 2020
Deadline for early registration at discount rate: 15 June 2020
Conference dates: 15-18 September 2020

*BEST PAPER AWARDS*
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.

*TRAVEL GRANTS*
The European Neural Network Society sponsors a number of Student Travel 
Grants covering part of the costs for attending ICANN. Details will be 
provided on the conference website.
