ANNPR 2018 invites papers that present original work in the areas of
neural networks and machine learning oriented to pattern recognition,
focusing on their algorithmic, 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 to 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

ANNPR2018 is organized by the Technical Committee 3 (IAPR TC3) on Neural
Networks & Computational Intelligence of the International Association for
Pattern Recognition (IAPR). As such, we particularly encourage submissions
that fit the Manifesto and the research directions of the TC3 (see
http://iapr-tc3.diism.unisi.it/Research.html)

Paper Submission:
Perspective Authors shall submit their paper in Springer LNCS/LNAI format.
Instructions for Authors, LaTeX templates, etc. are available at the
Springer LNCS/LNAI web-site (see
http://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
The maximum paper length is 12 pages. Submission of a paper constitutes a
commitment that, if accepted, at least one of the Authors will complete an
early registration to the workshop. On-line submission via EasyChair will
be made available in due time through the ANNPR2018 website.

Confirmed Invited Speakers:
  Marco Gori (University of Sienna)
  Marcello Pelillo (University of Venice)
  Thilo Stadelmann (ZHAW School of Engineering)
