About CONF-SPML 2026

The 6th International Conference on Signal Processing and Machine Learning (CONF-SPML 2026) is a leading conference in the fields of signal processing and machine learning. CONF-SPML 2026 serves as an international platform for researchers, academics, industry practitioners, and university students around the world to converge and discuss the latest advancements, methodologies, and applications in signal processing and machine learning. It provides an excellent opportunity for both scholars and students interested in signal processing and machine learning to present their findings and achievements, thus promoting communication and cooperation.

CONF-SPML 2026 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to highlight the importance of signal processing and machine learning as well as to boost new collaborations in these areas. The conference looks for significant contributions to trending technologies in signal processing and biomedical signal processing in theoretical and practical aspects.

CONF-SPML 2026 is a hybrid conference, establishing an online session and welcoming participants from all countries and regions to join whenever and wherever possible. Meanwhile, to facilitate broader academic exchange and knowledge sharing, CONF-SPML 2026 will host multiple on-site symposium series at Tianjin University. Authors are welcome to submit their manuscripts to the symposium series, each of which will independently handle the submission and review process.

Publication

All papers submitted to the conference will be assigned to the respective symposium committees based on factors such as submission date and topic relevance. Each symposium committee will then coordinate the peer review process, ensuring rigorous evaluation and making final decisions on acceptance and publication.

Conference Proceedings

Accepted papers of CONF-SPML 2026 will be published in conference proceedings according to the research field, which will be submitted to EI Compendex, Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI), Crossref, Portico, Google Scholar, CNKI, Inspec and other databases for indexing. The indexing result will be determined by the conference proceedings in which the paper is included.

* Accepted manuscripts will be submitted to the publisher on a rolling basis. Early-registered papers are expected to be published and printed earlier.

Review Process

The submission will first be reviewed for its topic and length, then go through an originality check. The peer-review process will begin soon after the paper is found to be qualified. The paper will be sent to have a double-blind peer review by 2 reviewers. They will judge the paper based on the theme, coverage, innovation, integrity, depth, and language. If the paper is accepted, notification of acceptance and review comments will be sent to the author via email. The actual review time may be different in certain situations.
