JOINT IAPR INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOPS on Structural and Syntactic Pattern Recognition (SSPR 2012) and Statistical Techniques in Pattern Recognition (SPR 2012)

2012 – Japan For details see    S+SSPR 2012 Conference Website

A Satellite Event of the International Conference of Pattern Recognition: ICPR 2012

The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) and its Technical Committees on Statistical Pattern Recognition (TC1) and the Structural and Syntactical Pattern Recognition (TC2) will organize the next joint workshops, prior to the ICPR 2012 which will be held in Japan. The joint workshops aim at promoting interaction and collaboration not only among researchers working in areas covered by TC1 and TC2 but also among those in other fields who use statistical, structural or syntactical techniques extensively.


Aims and Scopes

 

IAPR-TC1 on Statistical Techniques in Pattern Recognition is one of the official Technical Committees of the International Association of Pattern Recognition. IAPR-TC1 aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers working directly in statistical pattern recognition but also among those specialized in other fields but using or developing statistical techniques. In this relation it is of particular interest to stimulate links with many mathematical statisticians, theoreticians and practitioners alike who work at present outside the pattern recognition community. It is our belief that both the communities would benefit from establishing closer contacts.

Topics of interest for IAPR-TC1 mainly concern:

  • classical statistical PR methods,
    • feature selection and extraction,
    • classifier design and testing,
    • small sample size problems,
    • clustering techniques,
  • contextual methods,
  • comparing and combining PR methods,
  • artificial neural networks,

Generally speaking, the objectives of the IAPR-TC1 are:

  • to facilitate establishing of closer contacts among all the researchers working in various directions of statistical techniques either within or outside the current PR community
  • to create and maintain a membership list
  • to inform about forthcoming conferences and workshops of likely interest to the members
  • to produce a White Book which will inform about the activities of the members worldwide
  • to organize regularly workshops on statistical techniques in PR
