[DMANET] IPCO 2027 Call for Papers

** IPCO 2027 Call for Papers *Scope The IPCO conference is a forum for researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of integer programming and combinatorial optimization. The aim is to present recent developments in theory, computation, and applications. The scope of IPCO is viewed in a broad sense, to include algorithmic and structural results in integer programming and combinatorial optimization as well as revealing computational studies and novel applications of discrete optimization to practical problems. Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of their recent work by November 10, 2026 (Anywhere on Earth); see the submission guidelines below for more information. The Program Committee will select the papers to be presented based on the novelty, correctness, and quality of exposition of the submitted extended abstracts. Contributions are expected to be original, unpublished and not under review by journals or conferences with reviewed proceedings before the notification date (January 31, 2027). Papers violating these requirements will not be considered by the Program Committee. During the conference, approximately 33 papers will be presented in single-track sessions. Each lecture will be 30 minutes long including questions and answers. It should be presented by one of the authors in person (on-site). The proceedings will be published as a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. They will contain extended abstracts of all accepted submissions. It is expected that revised and extended versions will subsequently be submitted for publication in appropriate journals, including the special issue of Mathematical Programming B that will be devoted to IPCO 2027. *Best Paper Award IPCO will present a Best Paper Award, to be chosen by the Program Committee. With the generous support of Springer, the author(s) of the selected paper will jointly receive a prize of €1,000. *Submission Guidelines and Instructions for Authors Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract for a double-blind reviewing process. Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the Springer LNCS style with at most 12 pages, followed by acknowledgements, references and an optional appendix. Please check the Springer Information for LNCS Authors for additional information. An appendix containing additional technical material and full proofs may be included for consideration by the program committee. It will be provided to the reviewers but will not be published in the proceedings. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in the appendix to ensure that the main mathematical claims of the submission can be fully verified. There is no page limit for the appendix. The first page should contain the title and a short abstract. The introduction should be a broadly accessible exposition of the main ideas and techniques used to achieve the results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related work. Submitted extended abstracts will be reviewed according to the standards of top tier reviewed conferences. The main acceptance criteria used by the Program Committee are the quality and originality of the research, plus its interest to people working in the field. It is crucial that the importance of the work is understood by the committee. The claimed results must be correct and new to the best knowledge of the author(s). A paper will not be considered in any of the following cases: (i) It has already been published. (ii) It is under review by a journal or another conference with reviewed proceedings. (iii) It has a member of the Program Committee among its authors. (iv) It is submitted after the submission deadline. IPCO 2027 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In particular, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission, and authors should refer to their own work in the third person. In addition, it should be avoided to acknowledge funding agencies, advisors, and supporters in the submission. The purpose of this double-blind process is to help reviewers make unbiased initial judgments about the paper, and not necessarily to make it impossible for them to discover who the authors are. Authors should not weaken their submission or make reviewing more difficult for the sake of anonymity; in particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymized. Authors are encouraged to share their ideas or draft versions of their paper as usual, such as posting drafts online, submitting to repositories, and giving talks. The submission server can be accessed at https://ipco2027.hotcrp.com/. It will start accepting submissions from October 20, 2026. Papers failing to adhere to the guidelines (e.g., by not providing the omitted proofs in an appendix, exceeding the page limit, not being in LNCS format, or not following the double-blind rules) risk to be rejected without consideration of their merits. Each person may be listed as an author of at most five submissions. All listed authors must be human. They are fully responsible for the integrity, accuracy, originality, and copyright of the submission. Any use of AI (including LLMs) must be clearly disclosed in Acknowledgements. Authors are asked to express their permission for the reviewers to upload their submissions to generative AI service. In particular, if they have used it in the process of research or editing the draft, they must agree with possible use by the reviewers. ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.

[DMANET] Special Session at ESANN 2027: Where Kernels Meet Networks

Dear colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the following special session at ESANN 2027: WHERE KERNELS MEET NETWORKS: NEURAL TANGENT KERNELS, GAUSSIAN PROCESSES AND BEYOND KEY DATES Paper submission deadline: 18 November 2026 ESANN 2027: 21-23 April 2027, Bruges, Belgium, and online ORGANIZERS Frank-Michael Schleif Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt, Germany Nils M. Kriege University of Vienna, Austria Johan Suykens KU Leuven, Belgium SCOPE Kernel methods and neural networks have historically often been viewed as competing paradigms. A substantial body of recent work, however, has revealed increasingly close connections between them. Infinitely wide neural networks can be described in terms of kernels and Gaussian processes, while Neural Tangent Kernels provide an infinite-dimensional kernel perspective on the training dynamics of wide networks. At the same time, current research increasingly moves beyond fixed limiting kernels towards learnable, structured and expressive kernel models, finite-width effects, alternative infinite-width limits, and scalable computational approaches. The aim of this special session is to bring together these different perspectives and to encourage interaction between researchers working on kernel methods, Gaussian processes, neural-network theory, and related areas. TOPICS We welcome theoretical, methodological and applied contributions on topics including, but not limited to: - infinite-width, arc-cosine, compositional and deep kernels - correspondences between neural networks, Gaussian processes and Neural Tangent Kernels - finite-width effects and deviations from the NTK regime - feature learning and mean-field limits beyond lazy training - deep kernel processes and learning kernel representations from data - heavy-tailed and stable infinite-width limits - deep and restricted kernel machines - graph kernels, graph neural networks and message-passing expressivity - random features, Nyström methods, low-rank approximations and sketching - indefinite, non-metric and structured kernels - Gaussian processes for deep models, uncertainty quantification and calibration - applications to molecular, graph, scientific and other structured data SUBMISSION Submissions to special sessions follow the same review procedure, format and submission rules as regular ESANN papers. Authors should indicate the corresponding special session when submitting. Further information about the special session and the submission procedure can be found on the ESANN website: https://www.esann.org We would be very happy to see contributions addressing the increasingly rich interface between kernel learning, Gaussian processes and neural networks.
