20th International Conference on
SEMANTIC COMPUTING
Bridging modern and classic AI
February 2-4, 2026
The Hills Hotel, Laguna Hills, California, USA
(format: hybrid)
http://www.SemanticComputing.org
Co-located with AIxDKE 2026 and AIxMM 2026
The recent success of modern AI (including machine learning and generative AI) has stimulated the bridging of modern AI and classic AI (including search, reasoning, planning) to achieve the final goal of Artificial Intelligence. While the use of LLMs in the large realizes the goal of Semantic Web (linked data), Semantic Computing (SC) extends them to address the derivation, description, integration, and use of semantics of all types of resource (including data, document, problem, solution) to facilitate the merge of modern and classic AI.
The technical program of ICSC will include workshops, invited keynotes, paper presentations, panel discussions, poster sessions, and more. Submissions of high-quality papers describing mature results or ongoing work are invited.
Topics for submission include but are not limited to:

Regular papers should be no longer than eight (8) pages, industry and concise papers should be no longer than four (4) pages, and posters should be no longer than two (2) pages. Authors are invited to submit technical paper manuscript in double-column IEEE format following the guidelines available on the web page. Papers (4 to 8 pages) are also invited for the resource track. The conference proceedings will be submitted for publication by IEEE Computer Society Press. Distinguished quality papers presented at the conference will be selected for publication in internationally renowned journals (SCI, EI, and/or Scoups indexed). ICSC will also select and present a best paper award and a best student paper award.
