Connectionists: Hybrid ANNPR2022: 2nd CFP (10th IAPR TC3 International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition, Dubai)

[Edmondo Trentin]

Hybrid ANNPR 2022: due to the status of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic,
remote presentations and attendance will be accommodated. Nonetheless,
ANNPR 2022 is being planned as an in-presence event, and we encourage
perspective attendees to join us in Dubai.

2nd Call for papers

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.
