The 34th Italian Workshop on Neural Networks (WIRN 2026) will be held at the SIREN Headquarters in the picturesque setting of Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, Italy, from June 10 to June 12, 2026.
Organized by the Italian Society for Neural Networks (SIREN), WIRN has established itself as a premier annual event for the neural network community, attracting researchers and practitioners from across the globe.
With a tradition spanning over three decades, the workshop provides a vibrant and informal forum for discussing the latest advances in Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence, and Machine Learning. It aims to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial applications, fostering the exchange of innovative ideas and promoting international collaborations in a stimulating environment.
Prospective authors are invited to contribute with original, not published elsewhere, high quality papers in the topic areas listed below. Papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee and can be accepted for oral or poster presentation. Accepted contributions will be published in a Springer printed volume indexed by SCOPUS.
