Every aspect of modern society has been affected by the data revolution.
Cheap collection, storage and transmission of vast amounts of information
have revolutionized the practice of science, technology and business. Ideas
from various disciplines have been deployed to help in the task of designing
computer systems that can automatically detect and exploit useful regularities
(patterns) in general types of data. This is the second meeting of a series
devoted to pursuing a unified theoretical description of the various branches
of Pattern Analysis (
The
Analysis of Patterns). These include statistical approaches to pattern
recognition, combinatorical approaches to pattern matching, grammatical
representations of structures, and many more fields of mathematics and computer
science. In all these diverse fields, there is a fundamental unity in goals
and methods that we aim at emphasizing. The meeting is interdisciplinary
in nature, and can be seen both as a School for advanced students, and as
a Workshop for researchers. Leading researchers in various subfields of
pattern analysis will hold tutorials on their subject area, while new ideas
will be presented in poster sessions, discussions and short seminars. Students
in machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, optimization, data
mining, bioinformatics, are particularly encouraged to apply.
