Connectionists: CFP: BIOMAP 2026 - International Workshop on Bio-Inspired Methods for Pattern Recognition (BIOMAP 2026)

[Emanuele NARDONE]

*Call for papers: **International Workshop on Bio-Inspired Methods for
Pattern Recognition (BIOMAP 2026) - August 22, 2026
<https://narden91.github.io/biomap/#/>**  (PDF
<https://narden91.github.io/biomap/CFP_BIOMAP.pdf>)*

The workshop will be held in conjunction with *ICPR 2026
<https://icpr2026.org/>* (*28th International Conference on  Pattern
Recognition, Lyon, France, August 17-22, 2026*)

The workshop will present recent advances in bio-inspired intelligence,
such as swarm intelligence and evolutionary computation, as a framework for
advanced pattern recognition. Its main goal is to link the bio-inspired
intelligence and pattern recognition communities to foster the development
of robust, efficient, and adaptive solutions for challenging real-world
problems.

*📚 TOPICS OF INTEREST*

Topics include, but are not limited to:

   - Evolutionary neural architecture discovery
   - Swarm intelligence for distributed patterns
   - Self-organising and adaptive vision
   - Artificial life and emergent patterns
   - Evolutionary multi-objective optimisation
   - Applications and grand challenges (medical imaging, autonomous
   driving, remote sensing, biometrics, industrial inspection)
   - and more ..
