Call for Papers: ICONIP 2025

The 32nd International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP 2025), the annual flagship conference of the Asia Pacific Neural Network Society (APNNS) and the 35th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Neural Network Society (JNNS), will be held from November 20th to November 24th, 2025, at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan.

ICONIP 2025 aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, researchers, educators, industrial professionals, and students worldwide to present the state of research and development, address new challenges, and discuss trends in neural information processing theory and applications.

The conference employs a single-blind paper reviewing process. The conference will be an in-person event, and authors must be available to present at the conference.

Publication

Proceedings will be published in the Springer series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS). All accepted papers will be open access from OpenReview about two weeks before the conference.

Detailed author instructions and the Springer template can be found here.
