Welcome to ACAIN 2022, the International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience. It will take place in Certosa di Pontignano (Italy).
Please enjoy the leading artificial intelligence and neuroscience gathering in the world, while visiting Tuscany .
The ACAIN 2022 is aimed at AI experts, neuroscientists and both at AI experts with interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists with an interest in AI. ACAIN 2022 will be a special opportunity to hear about cutting-edge research by leading scientists in AI and Neuroscience.
The two days of keynote talks and oral presentations (the Symposium, September 21-22) will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists (the Course, September 19-20).
Moreover, ACAIN 2022 accepts rigorous research that promotes and fosters multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
With the current exploding interest in AI and Neuroscience, the ACAIN Symposium will provide an exciting forum to present and hear about cutting-edge research in AI and Neuroscience.
We invite the submission of technical papers for the main technical track of the conference. Submissions should be significant and original on all aspects of Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience. We especially encourage papers on interdisciplinary applications of AI and Neuroscience.
The International Symposium Proceedings will be published by Springer. Papers will appear in a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) – Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series.
Submission Guidelines
Types of Submissions
When submitting a paper to ACAIN 2022, authors are required to select one of the following four types of papers:
- long paper: original novel and unpublished work (max. 15 pages, including References, in Springer LNCS format);
- short paper: an extended abstract of novel work (max. 5 pages, including References, in Springer LNCS format);
- work for oral presentation only (no page restriction; any format). For example, work already published elsewhere, which is relevant and which may solicit fruitful discussion at the conference;
- abstract for poster presentation only (max 2 pages; any format). The poster format for the presentation is A0 (118.9 cm high and 84.1 cm wide, respectively 46.8 x 33.1 inch). For research work which is relevant and which may solicit fruitful discussion at the conference.
We expect high-quality papers in terms of their scientific contribution, rigor, correctness, quality of presentation and reproducibility of experiments.Accepted papers must contain significant novel results. Results can be either theoretical or empirical. Results will be judged on the degree to which they have been objectively established and/or their potential for scientific and technological impact.
Submission Process
The paper title, author names, contact details, and a brief abstract must be submitted electronically through the ACAIN 2022 paper submission site (link above). Full papers must be submitted through the same site by the paper submission deadline. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present the work.
Confidentiality Policy
All submissions will be treated in strict confidence until the publication date.
Review Process
Reviewing for ACAIN 2022 is double blind (reviewers do not know the author’s identity or vice versa). The first page, on which the paper body begins, should include the title and abstract, but not names or affiliations of the authors. Acknowledgments of funding or assistance should also be omitted. Submissions should not contain pointers to supplemental material on the web. When referring to one’s own work, use the third person, rather than the first person. All identifying information can be added back to the final camera-ready version of accepted papers.
Selection criteria include originality of ideas, correctness, clarity, significance of results, and quality of presentation. Authors also accept that all decisions of the program committee (i.e., summary reject, standard reject, or accept) will be final and cannot be appealed.
All accepted long papers will be published in a volume of the series on Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) – Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligencefrom Springer after the conference. Instructions for preparing and submitting the final versions (camera-ready papers) of all accepted papers will be available later on.
All the other papers (short papers, abstracts of the oral presentations, abstracts for poster presentations) will be published on the ACAIN 2022 web site.
We can now include ORCID for authors of the proceedings. See this announcement and the guidelines (editor guidelines, section 4.7) for more information. For more information see this link.
