HIS 2023 Theme: Hybrid Approaches for Large Language Models and
Generative AI
============================================================== * Venue details and accommodation details are now published * Onsite
Venues: Olten, Switzerland; Porto, Portugal; Kaunas, Lithuania;
Kochi, India Please visit: https://mirlabs.org/his23/venue2.php

December 12-14, 2023

Organized Special Sessions and Workshops Details:

HIS 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and
virtually to take advantage of the best 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 recognizes 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 can attend and present
the papers virtually or 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.

**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.
Fuzzy inference system optimization using global optimization
algorithms. Hybrid computing using neural networks - fuzzy systems -
evolutionary algorithms. Hybrid optimization techniques (evolutionary
algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, GRASP etc.). Hybrid of
soft computing and statistical learning techniques. Models using
inductive logic programming, logic synthesis, grammatical inference, case-
based reasoning etc. Autonomic computing. Hybridizatiion with novel
computing paradigms: Qantum computing, DNA computing, membrane computing
etc. Hybrid Intelligent Systems: Applications
