Introduction

The 2026 IEEE 9th International Conference on Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing (MLNLP 2026) will be held in Xiamen, China from December 26–28, 2026. The conference is organized by Jimei University; co-organized by the School of Computer Engineering, Jimei University; sponsored by IEEE and the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society; and hosted at Jimei University.

In this upcoming conference, we invite renowned professors from academia to share the latest innovations and research outcomes in machine learning and natural language processing with participants. The conference will feature keynote speeches by distinguished experts and peer-reviewed paper presentations by authors. In addition, social events or academic visits will be arranged for participants to foster communication, discussion, and collaboration among researchers in this field.

Committee

Keynote Speakers:
Prof. Tianyou Guo, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China (IEEE Fellow)
Prof. Jixin Ma, University of Greenwich, United Kingdom
Prof. Nianyin Zeng, Xiamen University, China

Guidlines

1. The official language of the conference is English; all submissions must be in English.
2. Please strictly follow the formatting template (preferably by replacing content within the provided template).
3. Manuscripts must be at least 5 pages in double-column format.
4. The review cycle is approximately 3–4 weeks.
5. Submissions must be original, unpublished work; plagiarism and duplicate submission are strictly prohibited.
6. Notification of acceptance will be issued within 3–4 weeks after submission; expedited reviews may yield decisions in 1–2 weeks — early submission ensures earlier review and notification.
