We are organizing a Special Session for the International Joint Conference
on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2026) entitled *"Advances in Machine Learning and
Deep Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification,"* which is part of
the IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI) 2026, to be
held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, June 21–26, 2026.
The objective of this special session is to bring together researchers and
practitioners in machine learning, deep learning, and remote sensing to
share novel computational approaches for hyperspectral image classification.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Remote Sensing Applications of Hyperspectral Imaging
· Hyperspectral Imaging for Advanced Remote Sensing Techniques
· Deep Learning Architectures for Hyperspectral Image Classification
· Transfer Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification
· Unsupervised and Semi-Supervised Learning Methods
· Data Augmentation and Synthetic Data Generation for Hyperspectral
Data
· Multisource and Multimodal Data Fusion
· Explainability and Interpretability in Hyperspectral Image
Classification
· Advanced Feature Extraction Techniques
· Adversarial Attacks and Robustness in Hyperspectral Image
Classification
· Real-Time Hyperspectral Image Classification
· Applications of Hyperspectral Image Classification
· Benchmarking and Evaluation of Deep Learning Models
· Hybrid and Ensemble Models for Hyperspectral Classification
· Hyperparameter Tuning and Optimization Techniques
· Challenges and Future Directions in Hyperspectral Image
Classification
