AIMSA 2026
The 20th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence: Methodology,Systems, Applications

Sofia, Bulgaria, 15-16 October 2026

Generative and Predictive AI

Initiated in 1984, thebiennial Artificial Intelligence: Methodology, Systems, Applications (AIMSA)conference is a premier single-track forum for exchanging information andresearch results on theory and principles of artificial intelligence (AI) alongwith real-world applications of intelligent systems technology. The conferencetraditionally brings together researchers and practitioners in all areas of AIfrom both the academia and industry to meet and share their ideas andexperiences and learn about the recent trends and developments in contemporaryAI.

TOPICS

Theconference is looking for submissions offering innovative methods, systems andapplications that demonstrate efficiency and sustainability for the future ofAI. Efficiency can be demonstrated against current and traditionalmethods, systems and applications. Sustainability relates to therequired resources, computational power, human wellbeing, positive impact onscience and the society. 

Two main areas of contemporary AI will be on the focus ofthis conference, generative AI, such as LLM, and predictive AIsystems, such as neuromorphic ones. If properly used, the former can helpimprove human knowledge and cognition and the latter – to predict early and toprevent mental and other health problems. Contemporary topics for presentationsand discussions will be considered in 3 major themes:

(1)   Innovative methods for efficientand sustainable AI: 

- Advances in AI theories; 

- Advances in neural networks and neurocomputers; 

- Brain-inspired computation;

- Multimodal data science and AI;  

- Cooperative agents.

(2)   Systems for the development andthe implementations of efficient and sustainable AI:

- LLM based on novel neurocomputers (spike-basedtransformers); 

- Agentic AI systems; 

- Neuromorphic agents;

- Multi-agent systems on the cloud;

(3)   Novel efficient and sustainableAI applications:

- LLM in education, from primary-, to tertiary- and tohigher education for improved learning and cognitive skills; 

- Improving cognition in elderly population; 

- AI in professional health practice; 

- Predictive AI for early prediction of healthproblems, such as: stroke, AD, dementia, MS, ADHD, depression; 

- AI for environmental prediction; 

- AI for personalized medicine; 

- Non-invasive AI methods in health. 

- AI against fake information; 

- Ethical use of LLM.  

All submissions will be subjectto a single-blind academic peer review by at least three members of the programcommittee. Selection criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas,clarity and significance of results, and quality of presentation.

Theauthor(s) of the best paper (which will be selected based on the votes of theattendees) of the conference will receive the Best Paper Award during theconference.
