* 6th INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON PATTERN RECOGNITION (ISSPR) *

5-10 September, 2010, Plymouth, UK

Early registration deadline: 28 May, 2010

It is a pleasure to announce the Call for Participation to the 6th
International Summer School on Pattern Recognition. In 2007, the 5th
ISSPR School held at Plymouth was a major success with over 100
participants. The major focus of 2010 summer school includes:

-	A broad coverage of pattern recognition areas which will be taught in
a tutorial style over five days by leading experts. The areas covered
include statistical pattern recognition, Bayesian techniques,
non-parametric and neural network approaches including kernel methods,
string matching, evolutionary computation, classifiers, decision trees,
feature selection and dimensionality reduction, clustering,
reinforcement learning, and Markov models.

-	A number of prizes sponsored by Microsoft and Springer for best
research demonstrated by participants and judged by a panel of experts.
The prizes will be presented to the winners by Prof. Chris Bishop from
Microsoft Research.

-	Providing participants with knowledge and recommendations on how to
develop and use pattern recognition tools for a broad range of applications.

The registration fee for the 2010 event has been frozen as the same in
2007, so this is an excellent opportunity for participants to register
at an affordable cost. The fee includes registration and accommodation
plus meals at the event. The registration process is online through the
school website www.patternrecognitionschool.com which has further
details on registration fees. Please note that the number of
participants registering each year at the summer school is high with a
limited number of seats available, and therefore early registration is
highly recommended.

Should you need any help, then please do not hesitate to contact Prof.
