ICANN 2012 Scientific Meeting | 11-14 September, 2012

Dedicated to our Honorary President and Emeritus Colleague John G. Taylor

Aims and scope

The International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN) is the annual flagship conference of the European Neural Network Society (ENNS). In 2012 the University of Lausanne will organize the 22nd ICANN Conference.

ICANN 2012 will have two tracks with PC chairs from both Brain-inspired computing and Machine learning research areas.

Venue

Lausanne is a Swiss city located on the shore of the Lake of Geneva, 60 km from the international airport of Geneva. Fast and frequent train connections exist between the airport and Lausanne. The airport of Geneva is a major hub of low cost airlines and is connected by direct flights to most important cities in Europe and several cities in North America, Asia and North Africa.

The venue of the conference is the building Internef of the UNIL Campus Dorigny, in front of the stop "UNIL-Dorigny" of the public metro line 1.

Conference topics

ICANN 2012 will feature two main tracks: Brain inspired computing and Machine learning research, with strong cross-disciplinary interactions and applications. All research fields dealing with Neural Networks will be present at the Conference with emphasis on "Neural Coding", "Decision Making" and "Unsupervised Learning".
