ICONIP2025 Workshop
Frontiers and Hardware Applications of Neural Network Models
Neural networks have revolutionized various fields, including artificial intelligence, computational neuroscience, and hardware-based computing. This workshop, organized as part of at the 32nd International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP2025), aims to explore cutting-edge developments in neural network models, their biological foundations, and their implementation in hardware. The workshop will bring together experts from diverse disciplines to discuss advancements in neural dynamics, reservoir computing, robotics, and hardware-based implementations of neural computations.
Date: November 24, 2025
Time: 9AM-12PM
On-site venue: B250 (144)
Abstract submission
A camera-ready one-page abstract in PDF or MS Word format must be submitted via the submission form by Sept. 12th Oct. 31st (extended).
