** First Call for Papers - please circulate this CFP to your colleagues and networks **

-- The 23rd International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'23) --

HIS 2023 Theme: Hybrid Approaches for Large Language Models and Generative AI ================================================================

http://www.mirlabs.net/his23 http://www.mirlabs.org/his23

*Onsite and On the World Wide Web*

*Onsite Venues:* Olten, Switzerland : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olten Porto, Portugal : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porto Vilnius, Lithuania : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilnius Kochi, India : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kochi

*December 12-14, 2023*

HIS 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and fully virtually to take advantage of the best that the two modalities can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. HIS 2023 Organising Committee also recognises the benefits of virtual conferences allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This allows a higher number of research scholars and students to attend. Selected authors will have the option to attend and present the papers virtually or present in one of the four venues in Europe and Asia.

Proceedings of HIS'23 will be published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series. ( https://www.springer.com/series/15179) (Approval Pending)

**Important Dates** --------------------- Paper submission due: September 30, 2023 Notification of paper acceptance: October 31, 2023 Registration and Final manuscript due: November 10, 2023 Conference: December 12-14, 2023

**About HIS 2023** ------------------

Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of the next generations of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) investigations is the awareness in the academic communities about the necessity of the combined approaches to solving the remaining challenging problems in artificial/computational intelligence. Hybrid Intelligent Systems are recently getting popular due to their capabilities in handling several real-world complexities involving imprecision, uncertainty, and vagueness. HIS'23 built on the success of the previous HIS conferences. HIS'23 is the 23rd International conference that brings together researchers, developers, practitioners, and users of soft computing, computational intelligence, agents, logic programming, and several other intelligent computing techniques. It aims to increase the awareness of the research community about the broad spectrum of hybrid approaches. It brings together worldwide AI researchers to present their cutting-edge results, discuss the current trends in HIS research, and develop a collective vision of future opportunities. Thereby helping the researchers and practitioners establish international collaborative opportunities, and as a result, advancing the state-of-the-art of the field.

**Topics (not limited to)** ---------------------------

Interactions between neural networks and fuzzy inference systems. Artificial neural network optimization using global optimization techniques. Fuzzy clustering algorithms and optimization techniques.
