Call for Chapters: Book “Multi-Task Learning in Science and Engineering”

We are pleased to invite researchers, academics, and practitioners to contribute chapters to the upcoming edited book titled Multi-Task Learning in Science and Engineering. This book will explore the intersection of Deep Learning and Multi-Task Learning (MTL), offering insights into methods, techniques, and applications across a wide range of scientific and engineering domains.

The book will be structured into two volumes:

Volume I: Science – Dedicated to foundational scientific applications of MTL in fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. This volume will focus on MTL’s role in data-driven discovery, cross-disciplinary learning, and hypothesis generation within scientific research.

Volume II: Engineering – Focused on the use of MTL in engineering and practical real-world applications, including biomedicine, robotics, automation, and materials design. This volume will emphasize MTL’s impact on optimization, industry-specific adaptations, and performance efficiency.

How to book full-board accommodation at the Riva del Sole Resort & SPA

ACAIN Participants must book and stay at the Riva del Sole Resort & SPA (Castiglione della Pescaia – Grosseto  – Tuscany, Italy), which is the venue of the scientific event, where Hotel Rooms  and Apartments are available. 

ACAIN 2025 Accommodation web page.

The Accommodation Booking Form will be sent by email to all participants who have already registered for the scientific event.

Hence book your accommodation at the event venue, “Riva del Sole Resort & SPA”  by July 23, 2025.

Once accommodation has been booked at “Riva del Sole Resort & SPA“, the participant must send this information (including the Booking Number) to the ACAIN organizing committee (acain@icas.cc). 

For privacy reasons, the Hotel can not match people. If you have someone to share the hotel room or the apartment with, please send to the Hotel ( booking.events@rivadelsole.it ) the name, surname and email address. Otherwise the solution is to book an apartment in single use or an Hotel room  in single occupancy.

Remember: you need to book your accommodation (in Full Board) at the course venue and pay the amount  directly to the Riva del Sole Resort & SPA.

The Accommodation Booking Form will be sent by email to all participants who have already registered for the Conference.

All the guests (the accompanying persons) must pay the corresponding accommodation (full board) paying the same rates as the participants (see table above).

No exceptions are made.

Guest participation is in any case dependent upon availability of accommodation and there will be extras charges for double or multiple occupancy and meals.
