[Event at CIG] [fm-announcements] Call for papers: ​3rd International Conference on Neuro-Symbolic Systems (NeuS)

[Ivan Ruchkin via fm-announcements]

3rd International Conference on Neuro-Symbolic Systems (NeuS)
University of Southern California
June 16-18, 2026

NeuS aims to bring together novel concepts, theories, and practices that
can help in the development of the science and application of
neuro-symbolic computing and systems. The conference will focus on
system-theoretic approaches to address fundamental challenges to increase
the confidence of neuro-symbolic systems by making them more secure,
dependable, and trustworthy. Special emphasis will be placed on the design,
analysis, and synthesis techniques for neuro-symbolic systems with a
particular interest in assurance metrics, robustness, and ease of
translation from design to production.

In doing so, the conference aims to advance the development of principled
approaches to the design, development, and deployment of complex and
sophisticated neuro-symbolic systems. Topics of particular interest are:

   -

   Artificial Intelligence
   -

   Machine Learning
   -

   Autonomy
   -

   Cyber-Physical Systems
   -

   Formal Methods
   -

   Foundational Models
   -

   Neurosymbolic Programming
   -

   Neurosymbolic Hardware

Submissions are solicited in the following three categories:

   -

   New research papers: papers that report new research in areas of
   interest to NeuS. We particularly encourage submissions that cross
   traditional area boundaries and address the core neuro-symbolic themes
   listed above.
   -

   Tutorial-style papers: papers that explain concept(s) from a subset of
   the sub-communities of NeuS in a form accessible to all of the areas served
   by NeuS.
   -

   Challenge problem and case study papers: papers that describe challenge
   problems of interest to NeuS or describe industrial-scale case studies
   employing existing research results, software, or hardware.

As part of submissions, we also strongly encourage the submission of tools
or datasets that can advance the field. The program will comprise a few
keynotes, tutorials, contributed oral presentations, and poster
presentations.

Location: NeuS will be collocated with L4DC

Both conferences will be held
on the campus of the University of Southern California (USC), which is
around 3 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. USC is the largest private
university in Southern California, and is well-connected to the rest of the
city by the LA Metro. It is also close to a number of museums.
