Preface
Researchonarti ficialneuralnetworkshasprogressedoverdecades,inrecentyears beingfueledespeciallybydeeplearningthathasproven,albeitdata-greedy,efficientin solvingvarious,mostlysupervised,tasks.Applicationsofartificialneuralnetworks, especiallyrelatedtoartifi cialintelligence,affectourlives,providingnewhorizons. Examplesrangefromautonomouscardriving,virtualassistants,anddecisionsupport systemstohealthcaredataanalytics, fi nancialforecasting,andsmartdevicesinour homes,justtonameafew.Thesedevelopments,however,alsoprovidechallenges, whichwerenotimaginablepreviously,e.g.,veri ficationofrawdata,explainingthe contentsofneuralnetworks,andadversarialmachinelearning.
TheInternationalConferenceonArti ficialNeuralNetworks(ICANN)istheannual flagshipconferenceoftheEuropeanNeuralNetworkSociety(ENNS).Lastyear,dueto theCOVID-19pandemic,wedecidednottoholdtheconferencebuttopreparethe ICANNproceedingsinwrittenform.Thisyear,duetothestillunresolvedpandemic, theOrganizingCommittee,togetherwiththeExecutiveCommitteeofENNSdecided toorganizeICANN2021online,sincewefelttheurgetoallowresearchpresentations andlivediscussions,followingthenowavailablealternativesofonlineconference organization.Soforthe fi rsttime,ENNSandtheOrganizingCommitteeprepared ICANNasanonlineeventwithallitschallengesandsometimesunforeseeableevents! Followingalong-standingsuccessfulcollaboration,theproceedingsofICANNare publishedasvolumeswithintheLectureNotesinComputerScienceSpringerseries. Theresponsetothisyear ’scallforpapersresulted,unexpectedly,inarecordnumberof 557articlesubmissions(a46%risecomparedtopreviousyear),ofwhichalmostall werefullpapers.Thepaperselectionandreviewprocessthatfollowedwasdecided duringtheonlinemeetingoftheBratislavaorganizingteamandtheENNSExecutive Committee.The40ProgramCommittee(PC)membersagreedtocheckthesubmissionsfortheformalrequirementsand64paperswereexcludedfromthesubsequent reviews.ThemajorityofthePCmembershavedoctoraldegrees(80%)and75% ofthemarealsoprofessors.Wealsotookadvantageof filled-inonlinequestionnaires providingthereviewers’ areasofexpertise.Thereviewerswereassignedonetofour papers,andthepaperswithundecidedscoresalsoreceivedreportsfromPCmembers whichhelpedinmakinga fi naldecision.
Intotal,265articleswereacceptedfortheproceedingsandtheauthorswere requestedtosubmit finalversions.Theacceptanceratewashenceabout47%when calculatedfromallinitialsubmissions.AlistofPCmembersandreviewerswhoagreed topublishtheirnamesisincludedintheproceedings.Withtheseprocedureswetriedto keepthequalityoftheproceedingshighwhilestillhavingacriticalmassofcontributionsreflectingtheprogressofthe fi eld.Overallwehopethattheseproceedingswill contributetothedisseminationofnewresultsbytheneuralnetworkcommunityduring thesechallengingtimesandwehopethatwecanhaveaphysicalICANNin2022.
