NEmo 2026
Neuro-Symbolic Embodied Intelligence
NEmo 2026 is a one-day in-person workshop co-located with NeurIPS 2026 in Sydney, Australia, focused on neuro-symbolic AI for embodied agents. It brings together researchers from machine learning, robotics, planning, and knowledge representation to address challenges in integrating neural perception with symbolic reasoning for reliable agent behavior in physical or simulated environments.

Research areas in scope
01
Core Challenges
Long-Horizon Planning: Interfaces for learning, revising, and verifying symbolic action models while learned components handle perception and low-level control.LLMs and Provenance: Reliable use of LLMs as domain-model elicitors, policy priors, symbolic constraint generators, and natural-language interfaces.Shared Semantics: Reusable knowledge layers connecting environments, object affordances, robot capabilities, plans, and execution traces.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions are double-blind reviewed.
- Manuscripts and supplementary materials must be anonymized.
- NEmo is a non-proceedings workshop; accepted papers will be published on the workshop website.
- Dual-submission policy: Ongoing and unpublished work, as well as papers under review or recently accepted at other venues, are welcome.
- Submission of work previously published at major venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML) is discouraged.
- Submissions must use the official NeurIPS 2026 LaTeX template with the dblblindworkshop option.
