About the Conference

The International Semantic Intelligence Conference (ISIC) is an international platform for the Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and the Semantic Web communities. It presents a forum to publish cutting edge research results in intelligent applications.
Due to many technological trends like IoT, Cloud Computing, Smart Devices, huge data is generated daily and at unprecedented rates. Traditional data techniques and platforms do not prove to be efficient because of issues concerning responsiveness, flexibility, performance, scalability, accuracy, and more. To manage these huge data sets and to store the archives for longer periods, we need granular access to massively evolving data sets. Addressing this gap has been an important and well recognized interdisciplinary area of Computer Science. A machine will behave intelligently if the underlying representation scheme exhibits knowledge that can be achieved by representing semantics. Semantic Intelligence refers to filling the semantic gap between the understanding of humans and machines by making a machine look at everything in terms of object oriented concepts as a human look at it. Semantic intelligence helps us make sense of the most vital resource, i.e., data; by virtue of making it interpretable and meaningful. The focus is on information as compared to process. To whatever application, the data will be put to; it is to be represented in a manner that is machine-understandable and hence human-usable. All the important relationships (including who, what, when, where, how and why) in the required data from any heterogeneous data source are required to be made explicit. The Artificial Intelligence technologies, the Machine Intelligence technologies, and the semantic web technologies together make up the Semantic Intelligence Technologies (SITs). SITs have been found as the most important ingredient in building artificially intelligent knowledge based systems as they aid machines in integrating and processing resources contextually and intelligently.
ISIC aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and industry specialists to discuss, advance, and shape the future of intelligent systems by virtue of machine learning and semantic technologies.

About the Venue

Founded in 1964, the University of Lübeck is a renowned German institution specializing in medicine, computer science, natural sciences, and engineering. With a strong interdisciplinary focus, the university combines cutting-edge research with high-quality education in a collaborative and innovative environment. Its close integration with the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) supports extensive research in life sciences and health technologies.

Located in the picturesque Hanseatic city of Lübeck, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Germany, the university campus blends historic charm with state-of-the-art facilities. The city’s medieval architecture, lively harbor, and cultural heritage provide a unique backdrop for academic pursuits. With modern laboratories, lecture halls, and collaborative research centers, the campus fosters an ideal setting for scientific exchange and innovation.

Directions | Universität zu Lübeck

Address: Universität zu Lübeck, Ratzeburger Allee 160, 23562 Lübeck, Germany.

From Lübeck Hauptbahnhof (main train station): Take bus line 1 (direction 'Hochschulstadtteil') or line 9 (direction 'Universität') and exit at 'Technische Hochschule'. The campus is a short walk from the stop.

By car: From the A20 motorway, take exit 2 ('Lübeck-Genin') and follow signs toward the city center and Universität zu Lübeck. Parking is available near the university buildings.

Traveling by Air?

The nearest airport is Hamburg Airport (HAM), approximately 70 km from Lübeck. From there, you can take a direct train or airport shuttle to Lübeck (approx. 60–90 minutes travel time).

Call for Workshop/Special Session Proposals

The International Semantic Intelligence Conference 2025 (ISIC 2025) invites proposals for workshops/special sessions on the emerging topics related to the general theme of the conference. The acceptance of the proposal will be subject to the link, its specific theme is able to have with the conference major theme, i.e., Semantic Intelligence. New as well as established workshops/special sessions are welcome to send their proposals.
The proposals should be in a pdf file of maximum two pages long and to be submitted via email to fatmanas@pau.edu.tr, cc to general chairs (jasarika@nitkkr.ac.in, groppe@ifis.uni-luebeck.de). The proposals must include the following:
