Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th IAPR TC3 International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition, ANNPR 2014, held in Montreal, QC, Canada, in October 2014. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions for inclusion in this volume. They cover a large range of topics in the field of learning algorithms and architectures and discussing the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas.
