About the conference

ICMLANT brings the machine-learning and networking communities together for two online days of peer-reviewed research, keynotes and exchange.

Now in its seventh edition, the International Conference on Machine Learning and Applied Network Technologies is a forum for original work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the networks that carry it — from deep learning and signal processing to the Internet of Things and next-generation communications.

Accepted papers are peer-reviewed and prepared in the IEEE Conference Proceedings format. The conference is organized by the STEAM Robotics Academy with the technical support of the IEEE El Salvador Section, drawing authors and speakers from more than twenty countries.
