ICMLA 2026 — International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications

ICMLA 2026, the International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications, takes place October 5-7, 2026 at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Technically co-sponsored by IEEE, with accepted papers submitted to IEEE Xplore, ICMLA emphasises applications of machine learning alongside novel algorithms and systems: deep and transfer learning, federated learning, ML on the edge, reinforcement learning and generative models, applied to medicine, bioinformatics, security, smart cities and autonomous driving. The 2026 edition is fully in person with no virtual track, and features keynotes from Florida Atlantic University, the University of West Florida and the University of Michigan/Voxel51.

• ✓Academic ML researchers
• ✓Industry R&D managers
• ✓Graduate students and postdocs in ML
• ✓Healthcare and security AI practitioners

ICMLA is useful for engineering and data-science leaders who need applied results rather than frontier-model research: papers cover imbalanced big data, federated and edge learning, and ML deployed in medicine, security and autonomous systems. Three days at Oakland University give a Midwest team inexpensive access to IEEE-published applied work, direct conversations with the authors, and a recruiting channel into university ML groups — with a keynote on the convergence of AI and cybersecurity and another on agentic systems from Voxel51's co-founder.

• ✓Keynote: 'Evaluating Machine Learning Algorithms with Highly Imbalanced Big Data' — Taghi M. Khoshgoftaar (Florida Atlantic University)
• ✓Keynote: 'The Convergence of AI and Cybersecurity' — Eman El-Sheikh (University of West Florida)
• ✓Keynote: 'Physically-grounded Agentic Upskilling' — Jason J. Corso (University of Michigan; Voxel51)
• ✓Main conference papers, special sessions, workshops, tutorials and challenges
• ✓CFP areas: statistical, neural, reinforcement, multi-agent, federated and edge learning; generative models
• ✓Application areas: medicine, bioinformatics, industrial engineering, security, smart cities and autonomous driving

• ★Applications-first scope: the call explicitly spans medicine, bioinformatics, industrial engineering, security, smart cities and autonomous driving, not just algorithms.
• ★Long-running (25 editions) with IEEE technical co-sponsorship and IEEE Xplore proceedings, though it is a mid-tier venue (ICORE C) rather than a NeurIPS/ICML-class conference.
• ★Strictly in person — every accepted paper is presented live, with no virtual track.
• ★Keynotes span imbalanced big data (Taghi Khoshgoftaar), AI and cybersecurity convergence (Eman El-Sheikh) and physically grounded agentic upskilling (Jason Corso).
