The 2020 Neuro-Inspired Computing Elements (NICE) Workshop is the 8th annual meeting of researchers in the neural computing field.  Like previous workshops, NICE 2020 will focus on the interplay between neural theory, neural algorithms, neuromorphic architectures and hardware, and applications for neural computing technology.  

NICE aims to involve diverse participation from all over the world and bring together research communities with universities, government, and industry.

Submission Guidelines

As a workshop, we encourage submissions describing work that is not yet published.  Preference will be given towards submissions describing ambitious approaches to bringing neural inspiration into real world computing applications.  

For submissions, we will accept either full length papers (6-8 pages) or an extended two page abstract (not including references) that will be reviewed by the program committee.  The choice of paper format will not influence decisions.  Papers should emphasize the novel aspects of the work and the potential impact on the neural computing community.  

From these submissions we will invite a number of short talks, lightning talks, and poster presentations. The preferred mode of presentation should be noted on the submission site. 

As with 2019, NICE is planning on publishing an online proceedings volume, details are below.  The proceedings will include the papers and abstracts accepted as talks.
