                    Special Issue on Neural Pattern Recognition

                    Paper Submission Deadline: June 30th, 2001

Neural Pattern Recognition has been traditionally considered as an
alternative approach to pattern recognition, different from the
conventional statistical and structural approaches. There have been much
success in practical pattern recognition applications using neural
networks including Multilayer Perceptrons, Radial Basis Functions, and
Self-Organizing Maps among others. Lately, there has been strong
convergence between neural and statistical classifiers, exemplified by
algorithms like Bayesian learning, the Expectation Maximization (EM)
algorithm for mixture modeling, Support Vector Machines (SVM), or
Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for feature extraction to mention
just a few.

The Neurocomputing journal invites original contributions for the
forthcoming special issue on Neural Pattern Recognition from a broad
scope of areas. Some topics relevant to this special issue include, but
are not restricted to:

-- Theoretical foundations
-- Neural architectures for pattern recognition
-- Hybrid recognition systems
-- Relationship between neural and statistical classifiers
-- Unsupervised learning in feature extraction
-- Use of spiking neurons in pattern recognition
-- Key applications including classification, clustering, data mining,
bioinformatics, speech recognition, character recognition, 3-D object
recognition, etc.
