The Twelfth Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems will take place from Monday, October 13, to Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at the Global Learning Center at Georgia Institute of Technology. There will also be a day of pre-conference workshops on October 12, 2025.
The conference aims to bring together researchers to advance the original goals of artificial intelligence: to explain cognition and learning in computational terms and to reproduce a broad range of intelligent behaviors and human abilities in computational artifacts.
The conference welcomes many types of research, including demonstrations of new capabilities, empirical studies of implemented systems, and formal analyses of complex tasks. The term "cognitive" refers to any computational artifact that thinks or reasons, whether or not it works the same way as humans. Topics of interest include:
|
We encourage participation from anyone who is interested in computational approaches to complex cognition, human-level intelligence, and related topics.
We invite researchers to submit papers for presentation at the conference. Papers should have no more than sixteen (16) single-column pages and must follow the formatting instructions. Appendixes are not counted in the 16-page limit.
Authors should examine the review form before submission, as referees will expect papers to address the questions therein. Authors of papers accepted for oral presentation at the conference may be invited to publish an expanded version as an article in a associated journal Advances in Cognitive Systems.

The Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems will run from Monday, October 13, to Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at the Global Learning Center at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. The meeting will include extended technical presentations, leisurely breaks to encourage discussions, and poster receptions to foster additional interactions among participants.
There will also be pre-conference workshops on Sunday October 12, 2025 at the Technology Square Research Building The details of the workshop will be announced soon.
The schedule for conference and workshops will be available shortly after paper decisions have been made. Information about registration, transportation, and lodging will be available soon at the meeting's logistics page.
