7th International Conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI.
The conference returns to Rome, this time at Villa Wolkonsky, the British Ambassador's Residence, for four days of submission-led sessions and invited keynotes.
The conference convenes researchers across neuroscience and cognitive science; machine learning, applied mathematics, and theoretical computer science; and the adjacent fields, to examine how intelligence is represented, learned and instantiated in biological and artificial systems. The points at which the two literatures disagree are, in our experience, the most useful.
Neuromonster is, in our view, a serious research venue: submission-led, peer-reviewed, selective and oriented toward open problems, conceptual clarity and rigorous exchange. It is not a venue for product demonstrations or speculative futures.
