10th IAPR TC3 International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks in
Pattern Recognition (ANNPR 2022)
              November 24th - 26th, 2022
              Dubai Campus of Heriot-Watt University, Dubai, UAE
	      URL:  https://annpr2022.com/
Sponsored by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR)

The Workshop proceedings will be published in the Springer LNAI series

ANNPR 2022 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, semi-supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning
     - Deep learning and deep reinforcement learning
     - Feed-forward, recurrent, and convolutional neural networks
     - Hierarchical modular architectures and hybrid systems
     - Interpretability and explainability of neural networks
     - Generative models
     - Robustness & generalization of neural networks
     - Meta-learning, Auto-ML
     - Multiple classifier systems and ensemble methods
     - Kernel machines
     - Probabilistic graphical models

   Applications to Pattern Recognition
     - Image processing and segmentation
     - Object detection
     - NLP and conversational agents
     - Sensor-fusion and multi-modal processing
     - Biometrics, including sspeech and speaker recognition and segmentation
     - Data, text, and social media analytics
     - Bioinformatics/Cheminformatics and medical applications
     - Industrial applications, e.g. quality control and predictive
maintenance
     - Data clustering

ANNPR 2022 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). The Workshop is officially
sponsored by the IAPR.

ANNPR 2022 is being planned as an in-presence event, and we encourage
perspective attendees to join us in Dubai. Nevertheless, depending on the
status of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we are ready to go hybrid (or,
even entirely virtual if necessary).

Important Dates
  March 1st, 2022 – Special session proposal
  June 5th, 2022 –  Paper submission
  July 29th, 2022 – Notification of acceptance
  Sept 4th, 2022 –  Camera-ready
  Sept 4th, 2022 –  Early registration
  Workshop dates: Nov 24-26, 2022

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 ANNPR 2022 website.
