The 2023 Neuro-Inspired Computing Elements (NICE) Conference is the 10th annual meeting of researchers in the neural computing field. Like previous editions, NICE 2023 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.

Pending the Covid-19 pandemic situation, NICE 2023 is planned to be an in-person event to be held at University of Texas, San Antonio. 

Submission Guidelines

For submissions, we will accept regular papers (4-8 pages, not including references) that will be reviewed by the program committee. The length of the paper will not influence decisions, which will peer-reviewed on the sole quality and clarity of the work. Papers should cover unpublished work and emphasize the novel aspects and the potential impact on the neural computing community. Preference will be given towards submissions describing ambitious approaches to bringing neural inspiration into real-world computing applications. From these submissions we will invite several short talks, lightning talks, and poster presentations.

We also welcome Abstracts (1-2 pages) for 'Work in Progress' or 'Late Breaking News'. These submissions will be considered for poster presentations, lightning talks or demonstrations when applicable. These submissions will not be considered for the proceedings.

As with previous years, NICE is planning on publishing an online proceedings volume, details are below. Authors can also opt out of including their paper in the proceedings.

Please contact Dr. Brad Aimone (jbaimon@sandia.gov) if you are interested in presenting a tutorial at the conference.

Details on 2023 NICE Conference Proceedings

• The 2022 NICE proceedings were published and indexed through the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) International Conference Proceedings Series; we expect similar format for this year.

• Please see https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow for formatting instructions for ACM's ICPS system. EasyChair submissions should be a PDF of your paper, with camera ready versions (per the ACM instructions) due after acceptance.
