The ICPR 2024 Workshop Chairs invite proposals for the 27th International Conference on Pattern Recognition which is to be held in Kolkata, India during December 01-05, 2024. Workshops can be half-day or full-day, and it is also possible to hold workshops that will be operated in a virtual format, but it is expected that most workshops will take place physically at the venue to be arranged by the ICPR-2024 organizer. We seek Workshop proposals on timely topics and applications of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Image and Sound Analysis, Pattern Recognition, Biometric and Human Computer Interaction, Document Analysis and Recognition and Biomedical Imaging and Bioinformatics. Workshops are expected to provide a forum for the active exchange of ideas and experiences. Members from all segments of the ICPR community are invited to submit workshop proposals for review. Each proposal will be assessed based on its scientific merit, proposed structure, overall relevance, and how it complements the main conference.

Workshop organizers will be responsible for inviting speakers and ensuring their participation, submission, and review of papers, preparation of the program, etc.

The workshop proposal should be submitted at IAPR webform https://iapr.org/conferences/international-conference-on-pattern-recognition/icpr-workshop-application-form/ and via email to the ICPR 2024 Workshop Chairs at icpr2024workshop@gmail.com by March 31st, 2024.
