Visual Pattern Extraction and Recognition for Cultural Heritage Understanding (VIPERC 2020) Workshop, an event co-located with 16th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries (IRCDL 2020) in Bari, Italy.

Homepage: https://kdde.di.uniba.it/ircdl20/index.php/viperc-2020/

This workshop is intended to be an international forum whose main goal is presenting the advancement of the state-of-the-art, innovative research, ongoing work, academic and project reports in statistics and data mining, as well as applied mathematics, knowledge representation, intelligent systems, information retrieval and software engineering, for visual pattern extraction, analysis and recognition aiming to preserve the cultural heritage.
The workshop welcomes contributions from different research areas such as Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Archaeometry and History. It is also proposed as a stimulating environment for exhibiting, presenting and promoting new technologies, products and services and to show their implementation from a scientific sight, and their impact under an economical and society perspective in the context of the cultural heritage.

Topics to be discussed (but not limited to):

Neural networks for cultural heritage multimedia data
Machine learning and data mining for cultural heritage classification
Discrete geometry techniques for pattern recognition in cultural heritage images
Combinatorial pattern matching and discovery in ancient findings
Graph-based methods for cultural heritage data
Signal processing in cultural heritage multimedia data
