Connectionists: CFP: 7th IAPR-ANNPR feat. Special Issue of Neural Processing Letters

[Edmondo Trentin]

Call for papers featuring Special Issue of Neural Processing Letters

7th IAPR TC3 International Workshop on
Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition (ANNPR 2016)
              September 28-30, 2016
              Ulm University, Ulm, Germany

Sponsored by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR)

Authors of selected papers presented at ANNPR2016 will be invited to
submit an extended version of their articles to a dedicated special issue
of the journal Neural Processing Letters, guest-edited by the ANNPR2016
Chairs and titled "Off the mainstream: advances in neural networks and
machine earning for pattern recognition“.

ANNPR 2016 invites papers that present original work in areas of
neural networks, machine learning and pattern recognition, focusing on
both 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 in 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
