The two-volume set LNAI 10061 and 10062 constitutes the proceedings of the 15th Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, MICAI 2016, held in Cancún, Mexico, in October 2016.
The total of 86 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 238 submissions. The contributions were organized in the following topical sections:

Part I: natural language processing; social networks and opinion mining; fuzzy logic; time series analysis and forecasting; planning and scheduling; image processing and computer vision; robotics.

Part II: general; reasoning and multi-agent systems; neural networks and deep learning; evolutionary algorithms; machine learning; classification and clustering; optimization; data mining; graph-based algorithms; and intelligent learning environments.
