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.

Paper Submission:
Perspective Authors shall submit their paper in Springer LNCS/LNAI format. Please refer to the "Submission" page of the ANNPR 2022 website at:
https://annpr2022.com/paper-submission/
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 is available through the aforementioned ANNPR 2022 web-page.
