ICONIP 2026 — International Conference on Neural Information Processing

ICONIP 2026, the International Conference on Neural Information Processing, runs 23-27 November 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in Melbourne, Australia, organised by the Asia Pacific Neural Network Society. The programme is structured into four tracks: Theory and Algorithms, covering causality, explainable AI, machine learning, neural network models, optimisation, pattern recognition, generative and responsible AI, and privacy and security; Cognitive Neurosciences, covering brain-machine interfaces, computational psychiatry, neural data analysis, reasoning and sensory perception; Human Centred Computing, covering bioinformatics, healthcare, human-computer interaction, neuromorphic hardware and recommender systems; and Applications, covering big data analysis, computer vision, natural language processing, robotics and web mining. The 19th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity is held in conjunction.

• ✓Heads of AI and ML research
• ✓Applied scientists
• ✓Healthcare and bioinformatics AI leads
• ✓Robotics and computer vision engineers
• ✓Security research leads
• ✓Academic researchers and PhD students

For a technology leader with Asia-Pacific engineering or research operations, this is the region's principal neural computation meeting and the cheapest way to survey what the APAC labs are producing before it reaches the major Western venues. The special sessions are unusually specific to industrial problems — federated learning and agentic AI, robust machine learning, deep learning for agriculture, renewable energy — and the co-located AI and cybersecurity workshop covers the adversarial side in the same week. Attendees leave with named research groups to partner with and a hiring map of the region.

• ✓Track 1 — Theory and Algorithms: causality, explainable AI, neural network models, optimisation, generative and responsible AI, privacy and security
• ✓Track 2 — Cognitive Neurosciences: brain-machine interfaces, computational psychiatry, neural data analysis, reasoning, sensory perception
• ✓Track 3 — Human Centred Computing: bioinformatics, healthcare, human-computer interaction, neuromorphic hardware, recommender systems
• ✓Track 4 — Applications: big data analysis, computer vision, natural language processing, robotics, web mining
• ✓Co-located 19th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity (AICS 2026)
• ✓Special session on federated learning and agentic AI
• ✓Special sessions on deep learning for agriculture, multimodal human-machine interaction, robust ML algorithms and renewable energy technologies

• ★The Asia Pacific Neural Network Society's annual conference, which puts the Asia-Pacific research community in one room rather than as a satellite of a North American or European meeting
• ★Four-track structure spans theory, cognitive neuroscience, human-centred computing and applications, so neuromorphic hardware and brain-machine interfaces are argued alongside applied deep learning
• ★Co-located with the 19th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity (AICS 2026)
• ★Five themed special sessions target specific industry problems: deep learning for agriculture, multimodal learning for human-machine interaction, federated learning and agentic AI, robust machine learning algorithms, and renewable energy technologies
• ★Held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, and supported locally by the Defence Science Institute with backing from Victoria's Department of Defence
