Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition

Klappentext

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second IAPR Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition, ANNPR 2006, held in Ulm, Germany in August/September 2006. The 26 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, supervised learning, support vector learning, multiple classifier systems, visual object recognition, and data mining in bioinformatics.
