Conference Report on 2022 IEEE Symposium Series on
Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2022)
O
n behalf of the organizing
committee, we are delighted
to deliver this conference
report for the 2022 IEEE Symposium
Series on Computational Intelligence
(SSCI 2022), which was held in Singapore
from 4th
to 7th December 2022.
IEEE SSCI is an established flagship
annual international series of symposia
on computational intelligence (CI)
sponsored by the IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society (CIS) to promote
and stimulate discussions on the latest
theory, algorithms, applications, and
emerging topics on computational
intelligence. After two years of virtual
conferences due to the global pandemic,
IEEE SSCI returned as an inperson
meeting with online elements in
2022.
Oneunique featureofIEEESSCI
is to co-locate multiple symposia and
special sessions under one roof, each
dedicated to a specifictopic in theCI
domain, thereby encouraging crossfertilization
of ideas and providing a
unique platform for researchers, practitioners,
and students from all around
the world to discuss and present their
findings. The call for symposia and
special sessions of SSCI 2022 was
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MCI.2023.3278554
Date ofcurrent version: 13July 2023
responded with proposals of 41 symposia
and 11 special sessions. The subsequent
call for papers of SSCI 2022
received a total of 379 submissions by
672 authors across 57 countries. While
the individual symposium and special
session chairs handled the reviewer
assignment and acceptance/rejection
recommendation for each paper, the
acceptance/rejection decision was
finalized by the program chairs. For
papers contributed by the symposium
and special session chairs, a separate
Conflict of Interest (COI) track was
set up to handle the paper submission,
reviewer assignment, and acceptance/
rejection recommendation. In addition,
a separate submission site was
created to cater for papers submitted
by the conference and program chairs.
Following a rigorous review process,
230 regular papers were selected for
oral presentations at the conference
and included in the conference proceedings
published by IEEE Xplore.
After merging some small symposia
and special sessions, the regular papers
6 IEEE COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE MAGAZINE | AUGUST 2023
were organized into 32 symposia and
6 special sessions presented in six parallel
tracks over three days. In addition
to the accepted regular papers, 20 late
breaking papers were selected and featured
as poster presentations at the
conference.
For recognizing outstanding original
contributions to areas in the field
of computational intelligence, SSCI
2022 has taken much effort to provide
two best paper awards with external
sponsorship. The IEEE SSCI 2022
Best Paper Award, received by Siying
Zhang, Andi Han and Junbin Gao for
their paper entitled " Robust Denoising
In Graph Neural Networks " was
sponsored by the AI, Analytics &
Informatics (AI3) Horizontal Technology
Programming Office of the
Agency for Science, Technology and
Research (ASTAR). On the other
hand, the IEEE Brain Best Paper
Award, received by Shuailei Zhang,
Dezhi Zheng, Ning Tang, Effie
Chew, Rosary Yuting Lim, Kai Keng
Ang, and Cuntai Guan for their paper
1556-603X ß 2023 IEEE
IEEE SSCI aims to promote and stimulate discussions
on the latest theory, algorithms, applications, and
emerging topics on computational intelligence.
