Dates: 11 – 14 April 2023

• NICE workshop: Tuesday, 11 April – Thursday, 13 April 2023
  
• NICE hands-on tutorials day: Friday, 14 April 2023

Venue

On site attendance at the University of Texas in San Antonio (UTSA.edu) (pending any COVID related changes).

Focus

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.

Call for papers – open until 11 December 2022

The submission of 4-8 pages papers is open HERE at easychair.

Papers should cover unpublished work and emphasize the novel aspects and the potential impact on the neural computing community.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.
