Pattern Recognition can be defined as the discovery of regularities in data through mathematical modelling and classification. In this year’s conference, the main topics were artificial intelligence and machine learning for pattern analysis, Computer Vision and Robotic Perception, Image, Video, Speech, and Signal Analysis, Biometrics and Human-Machine Interaction, Document and Media Analysis and Biomedical Image Analysis and Informatics.
In addition to the main conference, 24 different workshops and 6 tutorials were held in the preceding and following days. Although the last conference was completely virtual, this year’s conference has been hybrid, with some participants presenting in person, others virtually.
