This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Mexican Conference on Pattern Recognition, MCPR 2014, held in Cancun, Mexico, in June 2014. The 39 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions and are organized in topical sections on pattern recognition and artificial intelligence; computer vision; image processing and analysis; animal biometric recognition and applications of pattern recognition.

It is an established tradition that researchers from many countries get together on the average every three years for a two week Advanced Studies Institute on Automatic Speech Recognition and Synthesis. According to ASI policies the Institute is financed by NATO. This book contains the texts of lectures and papers contributed by the attendees of the ASI which was held July 2 - 14, 1984, at Bonas, Gers, France. Focussed on New Systems and Architectures for Automatic Speech Recognition and Synthesis, this book is divided into 4 parts: (a) Review of ba8ic algorithm8 (b) SY8tem architecture and VLSI for automatic Speech (c) Software 8Y8tem8 for automatic 8peech recognition, (d) Speech 8ynthe8i8 and phonetic8. Due to the international nature of the Institute, the readers will find in this book different styles, different points of view and applications to different languages. This reflects also some characteristics of the International Association for Pattern Recognition ( APR) whose technical committee on Speech Recognition has organized this ASI. Proposed contributions have been reviewed by an Editorial Committee composed of W. Ainsworth (Kent), R. Bisiani (Pittsburgh), J. P. Haton (Nancy), W. Hess (Munich), J. L. Houle (Montreal), P. Laface (Turin), R. Moore (Malvern), H. Niemann (Erlangen) and J. Ohala (Berkeley). Typesetting of the book was performed using SYMSET facilities developed entirely by the Department of Computer Science at Concordia University. Special thanks are due to L. Lam, H. Monkiewicz and L. Thiel.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Joint IAPR International Workshop on Structural, Syntactic, and Statistical Pattern Recognition, S+SSPR 2022, held in Montreal, QC, Canada, in August 2022.The 30 papers together with 2 invited talks presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The workshops presents papers on topics such as deep learning, processing, computer vision, machine learning and pattern recognition and much more.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence, ICPRAI 2020, which took place in Zhongshan, China, in October 2020. The 49 full and 14 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers were organized in topical sections as follows: handwriting and text processing; features and classifiers; deep learning; computer vision and image processing; medical imaging and applications; and forensic studies and medical diagnosis.
