This review volume provides from both theoretical and application points of views, recent developments and state-of-the-art reviews in various areas of pattern recognition, image processing, machine learning, soft computing, data mining and web intelligence.

Machine Interpretation of Patterns: Image Analysis and Data Mining is an essential and invaluable resource for professionals and advanced graduates in computer science, mathematics and life sciences. It can also be considered as an integrated volume to researchers interested in doing interdisciplinary research where computer science is a component.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence, PReMI 2017,held in Kolkata, India, in December 2017. The total of 86 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 293 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: pattern recognition and machine learning; signal and image processing; computer vision and video processing; soft and natural computing; speech and natural language processing; bioinformatics and computational biology; data mining and big data analytics; deep learning; spatial data science and engineering; and applications of pattern recognition and machine intelligence.
