CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Session on

Computational and Mathematical Approaches to Cognitive Computing in AI

Under the International Conference on Mathematical Sciences and Computational Intelligence  (ICMSCI-2026)

February 20–22, 2026

The Department of Mathematics, P.G.D.A.V. College, University of Delhi, in collaboration with Faculty of Mathematical Sciences, University of Delhi, IIT Mandi and NIT Uttarakhand, cordially invites researchers, academicians, scientists, industry experts, and research scholars to submit their original and unpublished research papers for a Special Session on "Computational and Mathematical Approaches to Cognitive Computing in AI" under the International Conference on Mathematical Sciences and Computational Intelligence (ICMSCI-2026).

By bringing together machine learning, natural language processing, cognitive architectures, and generative AI, this session will highlight pathways for building adaptive, explainable, and human-aligned AI systems that can scale across industries and societal domains. Cognitive computing plays a pivotal role in advancing AI beyond narrow task performance toward human-like reasoning, contextual understanding, and adaptive decision-making. Unlike purely statistical models, cognitive computing systems integrate knowledge representation, natural language comprehension, and perception-driven learning to solve complex real-world problems. By combining cognitive AI with generative approaches: 

Topics of Interest

• Cognitive computing for human-like reasoning and contextual decision-making 

• Integration of knowledge representation, NLP, and perception-driven learning 

• Hybrid approaches: symbolic reasoning + generative AI models 

• Generative AI for explainable and context-aware decision support 

• Human-centric interfaces: conversational agents, multimodal assistants, adaptive learning platforms 

• Knowledge-augmented AI: trust, transparency, and robustness in AI systems 

• Scalable AI applications in healthcare, finance, governance, disaster response systems 

• Machine learning methods enabling continuous learning and adaptation  

• Ethical and societal implications of cognitive + generative AI convergence
