About

The 14th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Systems (ICPRS) is an annual international event that follows ICPRS-23, ICPRS-22, ICPRS-21, ICPRS-19, ICPRS-18, ICPRS-17 and ICPRS-16, a continuation of the successful Chilean Conference on Pattern Recognition that reached its 6th edition in 2014. In 2024 it is organised by the University of Westminster (UK) and the Chilean Association for Pattern Recognition (ACHiRP, a member of the IAPR), planned to be endorsed by the IAPR and by four chapters of the IEEE UK+Ireland Section (tbc). As per previous years, papers deemed to be of the required standard AND presented at the conference, will be published by a reputable publisher (tba) and indexed. Please note that the publishers might reject papers which are too similar to previous publications, even if the work is presented at the conference. All paper submissions need to be submitted via Conftool to be peer-reviewed (double-blind) by an international panel of experts.

The International Conference on Pattern Recognition Systems (ICPRS-24) aims to create an important networking forum in which participants can discuss the present and future of pattern recognition systems.

Its predecessors ICPRS-23, ICPRS-22, ICPRS-21, ICPRS-19, ICPRS-18, ICPRS-17, ICPRS-16, CWPR and CCPR, have traditionally been a meeting point of different disciplines (computer science, engineering, mathematics, machine learning, etc.) and an opportunity for a wide range of researchers and practitioners to discuss the many different aspects of the application of pattern recognition technologies.

The

14th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Systems (ICPRS) is an annual international event that follows ICPRS-23, ICPRS-22, ICPRS-21, ICPRS-19, ICPRS-18, ICPRS-17 and ICPRS-16, a continuation of the successful Chilean Conference on Pattern Recognition that reached its 6th edition in 2014. In 2024 it is organised by the University of Westminster (UK) and the Chilean Association for Pattern Recognition (ACHiRP, a member of the IAPR), expected to be endorsed by the IAPR and by four chapters of the IEEE UK+Ireland Section. As per previous years, papers deemed to be of the required standard AND presented at the conference, will be published by a reputable publisher (tba) and indexed. Please note that the publishers might reject papers which are too similar to previous publications, even if the work is presented at the conference. All paper submissions need to be submitted via Conftool to be peer-reviewed (double-blind) by an international panel of experts.

There will be a good set of keynote talks

We also welcome "Datasets Papers" that introduce a new public dataset and a baseline to encourage new lines of research.

This conference will be a 100% in-person event.

There will be a special category of "Student Papers", where the first author must be a student (undergraduate or postgraduate). There will be a special prize for best student paper.

All paper submissions will be submitted on-line to be peer-reviewed by an international panel of experts. Please note that all papers will be checked by a plagiarism detecting software so that papers that exceed a threshold of coincidence will not be passed on for reviews.

Also please note that reviews will be double-blind so please do not include author names and affiliations in your paper (also do not cite your previous work as "in our previous paper [x]", etc.).

There is an A4 pdf version of the conference call for papers as well as an A3 size version and an A2 size version, suitable for printing and displaying on announcement boards! :-)

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers papers describing novel and previously unpublished results on all aspects of Pattern Recognition Systems, from academia, industry, NGOs and others, to be selected for oral presentations or posters, on topics including, but not limited to:

  • Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Pattern Recognition
  • Bioinformatics Clustering

IMPORTANT DATES:

  • Paper submissions: 6th March '24
  • Notification of acceptance: 25th April '24
  • Camera-ready papers: 18th May '24
  • Early Registration: 10th June '24
Submissions
  • Paper format and number of pages will be announced later in the year
  • It is stronglyrecommended to use Latex (e.g. Overleaf)
  • Papers must be written in English.
  • To submit a paper, please click here. If you have not yet done so, you will need to create an account (if you participated in ICPRS-23 you might already have an account). PLEASE NOTE that the special "Student Paper" category requires the first author to be a registered student at the time of submission, otherwise use the normal paper category.
  • Please note that an accepted paper will only be sent to the publishers if at least one of its authors registers at a normal (not student) delegate fee
  • Further details for submitting your paper will be given later in the year
We will be using the ConfTool System.

Keynote Speakers

A full set of speakers will be announced later in the year

Programme

The full programme will be announced once all the papers have been reviewed

Registration

All authors of accepted papers and all other attendees, will need to register on a system that will be announced later in the year.


For an accepted paper to be presented and published, it needs to be associated to an "Author Full Fee" registration (and not to a Student or an Other registration). If only a student author is attending the conference and presenting their paper, then they need to pay an "Author full fee" (and not the student fee). We have to operate like this to cover conference and publishing costs. Also, if one of the authors registers as "Author Full Fee", additional authors of the same paper who also want to attend the conference only need to pay a lower fee e.g. as Student or Other, as appropriate to their status. Following IAPR policy, each author full fee registration will cover the presentation of up to three papers by the registered person who also needs to be a co-author of those papers. Presentation of additional papers beyond those three, by the same conference delegate will require the payment of an additional full author fee. In all cases there are reductions for members of the sponsoring organisations.

The fee structure will be announced later in the year.


Accommodation

The conference will take place in Central London, a city with excellent public transport and an extensive range of hotels. More details will be given later in the year.
