ANNPR 2018 (extended submission): May 31

[Friedhelm Schwenker]

Dear colleagues,

this is to let you know that the ANNPR 2018 submission deadline has been
extended to May 31, 2018 (final, no further extensions).

the 8th IAPR TC3 International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks in
Pattern Recognition (ANNPR 2018) will be held on September 19-21, 2018, at
DIISM, Universiti di Siena, Tuscany (Italy). See the following URL:
http://annpr2018.diism.unisi.it/

The Workshop proceedings will be published in the Springer LNAI series

ANNPR 2018 invites papers that present original work in the areas of neural
networks and machine learning oriented to pattern recognition, focusing on
their algorithmic, theoretical, and applied aspects. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

Methodological Issues
- Supervised, partially supervised, and unsupervised learning
- Feed-forward, recurrent, and competitive neural nets
- Kernel machines
- Hierarchical modular architectures and hybrid systems
- Combination of neural networks and Hidden Markov models
- Multiple classifier systems and ensemble methods
- Probabilistic graphical models
- Deep architectures

Applications to Pattern Recognition
- Image processing and segmentation
- Handwritten recognition and Document analysis
- Sensor-fusion and multi-modal processing
- Feature extraction, dimensionality reduction
- Clustering and vector quantization
- Speech and speaker recognition
- Data, text, and web mining
- Bioinformatics/Cheminformatics

ANNPR2018 is organized by the Technical Committee 3 (IAPR TC3) on Neural
Networks & Computational Intelligence of the International Association for
Pattern Recognition (IAPR). As such, we particularly encourage submissions that
fit the Manifesto and the research directions of the TC3 (see
http://iapr-tc3.diism.unisi.it/Research.html)
