7th International Conference on Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval and Artificial Intelligence (NIAI 2026)
March 14 ~ 15, 2026, Vienna, Austria
https://ccseit2026.org/niai/index
Scope
7th International Conference on Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval and Artificial Intelligence (NIAI 2026) serves as a premier global forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to present cutting edge innovations at the intersection of NLP, IR, AI, Machine Learning, and Data Driven Technologies.
As AI systems rapidly evolve—from large language models and multimodal architectures to real world intelligent applications—the need for a unified platform that brings together diverse research communities has never been greater. NIAI 2026 aims to bridge these domains, fostering collaboration, advancing scientific understanding, and accelerating the development of responsible, impactful AI technologies.
The conference welcomes contributions that push theoretical boundaries, introduce novel methodologies, or demonstrate transformative applications across languages, modalities, and industries. With a strong emphasis on rigor, reproducibility, and societal relevance, NIAI aspires to stand alongside the world’s leading conferences in shaping the future of intelligent systems.
