=============================================================
The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN)
is the
annual flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society
(ENNS).
In 2021 the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics
(FMPI), Comenius
University in Bratislava, together with the Slovak Society for
Cognitive
Science, organize the 30th ICANN Conference from the 14th to the
17th of
September 2021 in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Possibility of online/hybrid event: in case the
organization of a physical
event will not be possible because of COVID-19 travel/gathering
restrictions,
the conference will happen online.

Models,
Information Theoretic Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Relational
Learning,
Dynamical Models, Recurrent Networks.

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 2021 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
ICANN 2021 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
icann2021@fmph.uniba.sk
CALL FOR PAPERS
Authors willing to present original contributions in either oral
or poster
category may submit:
- A full paper of maximum 12 pages (including references) to be
published in
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
with individual
DOI.
- An extended abstract of maximum 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 on the conference website:
https://e-nns.org/icann2021/
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for special sessions proposals: 1 Mar 2021
Opening of contribution submissions: 15 Feb 2021
Deadline for full paper and extended abstract submission: 15 Mar
2021
Notification of acceptance: 1 May 2021
