It is most appropriate that the first volume to appear in the
series "Advanced Applications in Pattern Recognition" should be
this monograph by Nagao and Matsuyama. The work described here is a
deep unification and synthesis of the two fundamental approaches to
pat tern recognition: numerical (also known as "statistical") and
struc tural ("linguistic," "syntactic"). The power and unity of the
meth odology flow from the apparently effortless and natural use of
the knowledge-base framework illuminated by the best results of
artificial intelligence research. An integral part of the work is
the algorithmic solution of many hitherto incompletely or clumsily
treated problems. It was on the occasion of a laboratory visit in
connection with the 4th IJCPR (of hich Professor Nagao was the very
able Program Chairman) that I saw in operation the system described
here. On the spot I expressed the desire to see the work described
for the inter national technical audience in this series and the
authors were kind enough to agree to contribute to a new and
unknown series. With the publication of this monograph on the eve
of the 5th ICPR my wish is fu1fi11 d. I want to thank here the
authors and Plenum Publishing Corporation for making this volume
and the series a reality."
