This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second IAPR Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition, ANNPR 2006, held in Ulm, Germany in August/September 2006. The 26 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, supervised learning, support vector learning, multiple classifier systems, visual object recognition, and data mining in bioinformatics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third TC3 IAPR Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition, ANNPR 2008, held in Paris, France, in July 2008. The 18 revised full papers and 11 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers combine many ideas from machine learning, advanced statistics, signal and image processing for solving complex real-world pattern recognition problems. The papers are organized in topical sections on unsupervised learning, supervised learning, multiple classifiers, applications, and feature selection.

Thisvolumecontainspapersselectedforpresentationatthe6thIAPRWorkshop on Document Analysis Systems (DAS 2004) held during September 8–10, 2004 at the University of Florence, Italy. Several papers represent the state of the art in a broad range of “traditional” topics such as layout analysis, applications to graphics recognition, and handwritten documents. Other contributions address the description of complete working systems, which is one of the strengths of this workshop. Some papers extend the application domains to other media, like the processing of Internet documents. The peculiarity of this 6th workshop was the large number of papers related to digital libraries and to the processing of historical documents, a taste which frequently requires the analysis of color documents. A total of 17 papers are associated with these topics, whereas two yearsago (in DAS 2002) only a couple of papers dealt with these problems. In our view there are three main reasons for this new wave in the DAS community. From the scienti?c point of view, several research ?elds reached a thorough knowledge of techniques and problems that can be e?ectively solved, and this expertise can now be applied to new domains. Another incentive has been provided by several research projects funded by the EC and the NSF on topics related to digital libraries.
