     - Unsupervised learning
     - Combination of 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
     - Kernel methods
     - Deep architectures

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