<accordion parent="accordion" heading="Message from the Editor ">

Dear TC11 members,

This message is a little different from usual because, after two consecutive two-year terms as TC11 Communication Officer and newsletter editor, this will be my last issue.

Over these years, I have really enjoyed keeping up with what was happening across the DAR community and sharing it through the newsletter: conferences, workshops, deadlines, calls, awards, datasets, new initiatives, and many other updates from across the community. It has also been a particularly interesting period to follow, with Document AI evolving very quickly and our community evolving with it.

A newsletter, of course, depends very much on the people who send the news. So thank you to everyone who contributed announcements, reports, calls, corrections, reminders, and other material over the years. It made the job easier, and I am genuinely grateful to everyone who took the time to contribute.

I wish the new TC11 team all the best as they start this new chapter, especially at such an important moment with the merger of TC10 and TC11. I also wish the next editor good luck with the newsletters, the deadlines, the formatting, and all those announcements that somehow arrive just before an issue is supposed to go out.

This issue marks a transition in more ways than one. The new TC11 is taking shape, responsibilities are being handed over, and several updates to the website, communication channels, logo, and newsletter will follow gradually. For this issue, however, you still get the old template, the old logo, and, indeed, the old editor.

This issue also comes with quite a lot of news. Deadlines and upcoming events are back after two rather quiet issues, together with our usual open call for organizing DAR events. We also follow up on the announcement from the August issue with the full story of the TC10–TC11 merger, introduce the new TC11 on Document Analysis and Recognition and its incoming team, and report on ICDAR 2026. You will also find the calls for the ICDAR–IJDAR 2027 journal track and for ICDAR 2027.

And one final personal note: I may be biased, but I think the ICDAR/DAR community has some of the nicest people in research. I am glad to remain part of it, even if from now on I will be reading the newsletter rather than editing it.

Enjoy this issue, and happy reading!

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="Open Call for Organizing DAR Events *(updated)* ">

The IAPR technical committee on document analysis and recognition (TC11) regularly organizes scientific events for the Document Analysis and Recognition (DAR) community, including the ICDAR flagship conference.

In addition to specific calls for bids to host one of the events, we encourage teams to announce their interest in organizing one of the following events:

* '''ICDAR''': International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (annually; next possibility in '''2029''')
* '''DAS''': International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems (satellite event of ICDAR in even years; next possibility in '''2028''')
* '''HIP''': International Workshop on Historical Document Imaging and Processing (satellite event of ICDAR; next possibility in '''2027''')
* '''GREC''': International Workshop on Graphics Recognition (satellite event of ICDAR in odd years; next possibility in '''2027''')
* '''SSDA''': Summer School on Document Analysis (next possibility in '''2027''')

You may find the details of each specific call in the previous or future issues of this newsletter or in the respective websites of each event.

Anyone interested in hosting one of these events is invited to announce their interest via email to [mailto:mickael.coustaty@univ-lr.fr mickael.coustaty@univ-lr.fr] and [mailto:momina.moetesum@seecs.edu.pk momina.moetesum@seecs.edu.pk], in order to receive feedback and support for preparing a proposal.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="TC Merger Story: TC10 and TC11 Merged into TC11 on Document Analysis and Recognition ">

Since many years, the technical committees TC10 on Graphics Recognition and TC11 on Reading Systems have co-organized scientific events because of overlapping interests, notably the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR) and the Summer School on Document Analysis (SSDA).

After the ICDAR flagship conference switched to a yearly rhythm (starting with ICDAR 2024) and included traditional TC10 and TC11 events as satellite workshops (especially TC10’s GREC workshop and TC11’s DAS workshop), the collaboration between the two technical committees has become even stronger. Furthermore, with recent advances in pattern recognition and machine learning, notably in the domain of deep learning and large vision-language models, the scientific methods in graphics recognition and reading systems have converged significantly.

Overall, it has been observed that the respective research communities (TC10: around 300 members, TC11: around 1200 members) have in effect merged under the umbrella term “Document Analysis and Recognition” (DAR), as evidenced, for example, by the DAR strategy meeting in 2020: https://sites.google.com/view/darstrategy

Therefore, merging the technical committees matches the natural evolution of the research communities, and allows us to foster the joint understanding on DAR research and streamline activities, while maintaining well-established processes - in particular, the ICDAR organization with the help of its Advisory Board which will remain unchanged.

The proposal submitted to IAPR to merge the two technical committees has been approved during ICPR 2026. As a result, the new TC11 has been renamed to '''''“TC11 on Document Analysis and Recognition”''''', and the “TC10 on Graphics Recognition” has been dissolved.

The next article in this newsletter discusses this transition period and announces the committee officers of the new TC11.

</accordion>
<accordion parent="accordion" heading="TC11 on Document Analysis and Recognition: Formation and Transition">

'''Formation'''

We are pleased to announce the formation of the new '''''IAPR Technical Committee 11 on Document Analysis and Recognition''''', created by merging the former TC10 (Graphics Recognition) and former TC11 (Reading Systems).

The new TC11 officers are:

* Mickaël Coustaty - Chair (former TC11 vice-chair)
* Momina Moetesum - Vice Chair (former TC10 vice-chair)
* Anna Scius-Bertrand - Educational officer
* Brian Kenji Iwana - Communications
* Sanket Biswas - Dataset Curator
* Natalia Bottaioli - Webmaster
* Carlos Moreno-Garcia - Secretary
* Jordy Van Landeghem - Industrial Officer

The new chair, Mickaël Coustaty, shared a few words with us where he welcomed the new officers, and warmly thanked the outgoing officers of both TC10 and TC11 committees: Andreas Fischer, KC Santosh, Christophe Rigaud, Carlos Moreno, Sanket Biswas, Muzzamil Luqman, Nibal Nayef, Foteini Liwicki, and Joseph Chazalon — for their contributions.

He is looking forward to the new committee’s work spanning graphics recognition, reading systems, and more broadly document analysis and recognition. The TC11 team sees this new chapter as a shared research journey, and is looking forward to welcoming new members who want to help shape the future of Document Analysis and Recognition.

'''Transition'''

We are currently in the transition period, handing over the work, website, communication tools, etc. Along with the new name of TC11, there will be a new logo and other updates that you will see gradually in the coming newsletters.

This newsletter issue was created using what is now the old template. In the meantime, we will continue to keep you informed about upcoming events, important deadlines, and DAR news and developments.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="ICDAR 2026 Report">

The 20th edition of the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR) has successfully concluded. ICDAR 2026 took place at TU Wien in Vienna, Austria, between August 30 and September 4, 2026, with the three-day main conference held from August 31 to September 2. The conference welcomed over 500 participants from around the world.

ICDAR, sponsored by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), is the premier international conference for scientists and practitioners in document analysis and recognition. Since its first edition in Saint-Malo, France, in 1991, ICDAR has served as a leading international forum covering areas such as text and handwriting recognition, layout analysis, document understanding, graphics recognition, historical documents, document forensics, digital libraries and scene-text analysis.

In addition to the three-day main conference, the pre- and post-conference program featured '''4 tutorials, 8 workshops and a Doctoral Consortium'''. Several competitions were also organized, with '''8 competition reports''' included in the conference proceedings and presented in a dedicated competition session.

A total of 295 valid papers were submitted to the main conference, of which 140 papers were accepted, corresponding to an acceptance rate of 47.5%. Among the accepted papers, 40 were selected for oral presentation and 100 for poster presentation. The review process involved 148 regular and 41 senior program committee members, with 817 reviews provided for the submitted papers.

In addition, 49 manuscripts were submitted to the ICDAR–IJDAR journal track, of which 12 were accepted, corresponding to an acceptance rate of 24.5%. All papers accepted through the journal track were also included as oral presentations in the conference program.

Three '''keynote talks''' were given by leading experts from academia and industry: C. V. Jawahar, IIIT Hyderabad, India, with “The Changing Landscape of Document Understanding”; Christoph Rass, Osnabrück University, Germany, with “From Archives to Algorithms and Back: What Historians Need from Document Understanding”; and Tong Sun, Adobe, USA, with “The Next Frontier: From Document Understanding to Document Agency”.

During the conference, the '''IAPR/ICDAR Young Investigator Award''' was presented to Silvia Cascianelli and Jorge Calvo-Zaragoza. Both award recipients also gave Young Investigator Award talks during the conference. Congratulations!<br />
Several other awards were presented during the conference, including the Best Paper Award, Best Student Paper Award, Best Student Paper Runner-Up Award, Doctoral Consortium Award and Service Awards.

ICDAR 2026 online resources have been updated with information and material from the conference:

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="ICDAR-IJDAR Journal Track 2027: Call for Papers ">

Following the tradition of previous ICDARs, ICDAR 2027 will once again feature a Journal Track, combining the rapid turnaround and wide visibility of a conference with the depth, length, and rigorous peer review of an archival journal. The ICDAR–IJDAR Journal Track invites high-quality original submissions in all areas of Document Analysis and Recognition, suitable for both the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR) and the International Journal on Document Analysis and Recognition (IJDAR). Accepted papers will be published in a special issue of IJDAR and will be allocated an oral presentation slot at ICDAR 2027.

Please note that journal versions of previously published conference papers, as well as survey papers, will not be considered for this special issue. Such papers should instead be submitted directly to IJDAR through its regular submission process.

Authors submitting to the journal track commit to presenting their work at ICDAR upon acceptance. Springer Nature, the publisher of IJDAR, will make accepted journal track papers freely accessible during a four-week window around the conference, in addition to their publication in the archival journal.

'''Format:''' Papers submitted to the journal track should follow the format of IJDAR submissions and all of the standard guidelines.

'''Procedure and deadlines:'''

All authors must understand that the full journal review process is required for all journal track submissions — there is no “shortcut.” Papers submitted by the journal track paper submission deadline will undergo review for the journal track. At the time of the initial journal track decision, any paper requiring major revision can no longer be considered for the journal track. In such cases, authors have two options:

* Transfer the submitted paper to the regular IJDAR track to continue the review process.<br />
OR<br />

* Withdraw the submission and prepare a shorter version to be submitted as an ICDAR conference paper. Please refer to the ICDAR 2027 website for details on deadlines and submission procedures.

Questions regarding the status of a paper under review for the IJDAR–ICDAR Journal Track should be directed to the Journal Editorial Office via the Editorial Manager system. The guest editors retain full authority to determine whether the journal review process can be completed in time, and decline submissions that arrive too late. In such cases, the authors will be notified immediately and may choose either to keep the paper in the regular IJDAR review process or to withdraw the manuscript from the journal.

Unlike the main ICDAR conference submission process, which is double blind, the IJDAR journal uses a regular submission process where authors must identify themselves on a paper at the time of submission.

Authors, reviewers, and meta-reviewers are advised that automated emails from the conference management system (CMT) may be filtered as spam; it is the responsibility of all participants to regularly check spam folders/whitelist “msr-cmt.org” and ensure such messages are received.

'''Important Dates'''

* Journal track paper submission deadline: 15 November 2026
* Initial journal track decision announced to authors: 15 January 2027
* Revised journal track paper submission deadline: 1 April 2027
* Final Journal Track Decision: 15 May 2027

'''Editors'''<br />
This special issue is a joint initiative of the IJDAR editors and the ICDAR 2027 PC chairs.

Guest Editors of ICDAR-IJDAR journal Track are:<br />
- Shivakumara Palaiahnakote, UK (ICDAR-2027 Program Chair) - Jean-Christophe Burie, France (ICDAR-2027 Program Chair) - Lianwen Jin, China (ICDAR-2027 Program Chair) - Josep Llados, Spain (Liaison to IJDAR)

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11">
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="Open Call for Organizing DAR Events *(repost)* ">

The IAPR technical committees on graphics recognition (TC10) and reading systems (TC11) are regularly organizing scientific events for the Document Analysis and Recognition (DAR) community, including the ICDAR flagship conference.

In addition to specific calls for bids to host one of the events, we encourage teams to announce their interest in organizing one of the following events:

* '''ICDAR''': International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (annually; next possibility in '''2029''')
* '''DAS''': International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems (satellite event of ICDAR in even years; next possibility in '''2028''')
* '''HIP''': International Workshop on Historical Document Imaging and Processing (satellite event of ICDAR; next possibility in '''2027''')
* '''GREC''': International Workshop on Graphics Recognition (satellite event of ICDAR in odd years; next possibility in '''2027''')
* '''SSDA''': Summer School on Document Analysis (next possibility in '''2027''')

You may find the details of each specific call in the previous or future issues of this newsletter or in the respective websites of each event.

Anyone interested in hosting one of these events is invited to announce their interest via email to [mailto:kc.santosh@usd.edu kc.santosh@usd.edu] and [mailto:andreas.fischer@unifr.ch andreas.fischer@unifr.ch], in order to receive feedback and support for preparing a proposal.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="TC Merger: TC10 and TC11 officially merged into TC11 on Document Analysis and Recognition ">

A significant evolution is taking place within the IAPR Document Analysis and Recognition community. Following longstanding collaboration between TC10 on Graphics Recognition and TC11 on Reading Systems, a proposal was submitted to IAPR to merge the two Technical Committees.

This evolution reflects the growing convergence of the two communities, both scientifically and through shared activities such as ICDAR, GREC and DAS workshops, and the Summer School on Document Analysis (SSDA).

We are pleased to announce that the proposal was approved by IAPR last week during ICPR 2026 and was very positively received.

As a result, TC11 has been renamed “TC11 on Document Analysis and Recognition.” Going forward, there is no longer a TC11 on “Reading Systems” and no separate TC10.

Mickael Coustaty will chair the new committee for 2026–2028, with Momina Moetesum as Vice-Chair. The organization of ICDAR and its Advisory Board will remain unchanged. Further details about the new TC11 officers will be announced soon.

Additional information about the merger will be shared with the community during the TC meeting at ICDAR.

Stay tuned for the '''''September newsletter''''', which will include a longer article explaining the merger, together with messages from the outgoing TC11 Chair and the incoming TC11 Chair.

'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="Virtual ICPR 2027 Inauguration *(repost)* ">

IAPR’s inaugural '''''VIRTUAL''''' ICPR 2027

The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) is pleased to introduce '''''the first'''''<br />
VIRTUAL 29th International Conference on Pattern Recognition 2027<br />
Conference URL: https://iapr.org/icpr-2027/<br />
Detailed CFP: https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CFPICPRv27vn1.pdf<br />
Conference dates: October 4,5,6, and 14,15, 2027<br />
PC Contact: icpr27pc@iapr.org

to occur between the IAPR’s flagship in-person ICPR conferences:<br />
- 2026 28th ICPR Lyon, France<br />
- 2028 30th ICPR Sydney, Australia

Papers will have the same length, reviewing, and quality as the in-person ICPRs. We anticipate about 500 papers. They will be published by Springer.

'''Why virtual?'''<br />
- In-person major international conferences typically cost $3000 to attend - Only one person from a lab typically can attend (due to cost) - Mainly only authors attend (due to cost) - The environmental impact of travel - Visa problems are restricting ability to travel

An online conference reduces accidental face-to-face interactions. However, it does allow new possibilities. Innovations that we are trying are:

* many (50+ depending on the paper topics) smaller thematic sessions that allow easier interactions between and with authors. Delegates can attend as many or as few sessions as they wish.
* Sessions are concentrated over 5 hours, but spread across 5 days and 2 weeks to give delegates space for their normal professional lives
* Extensive recording, so delegates can catch up on sessions they missed due to concurrent sessions or timetable conflicts.
* Open the conference platform 1 week before the conference, to allow browsing of the abstracts, papers, and short and long videos. This will make it easier to identify thematic sessions to attend, and authors to contact (using each paper’s persistent chat interface).
* Low attendance cost. We aim for $400 for authors and $25 for non-authors at this non-profit conference.

'''Conference topics'''<br />
Same as the traditional ICPR conference topics listed in the PDF CFP: https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CFPICPRv27vn1.pdf, we encourage papers on truly novel research problems.

The call for papers in the above link also contains tentative deadlines.

'''Key Organizers:'''<br />
General Chairs: Robert Fisher, Tin Kam Ho, Larry O’Gorman, Lale Akarun<br />
Program Chairs: Adel M. Alimi, David Doermann, Albert Ali Salah, Terrence Sim, Vitomir Struc, Guoying Zhao

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11">
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

=== [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|TC10/11 Summer School]] ===

Part of the mission of TC11 is to promote high quality educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The "TC10/TC11 Summer School" is intended to become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The Summer School is meant to be a training activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.

A call for bids to host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School is distributed by TC10 and TC11 about one year before the School should take place.

Any consortium interested in making a proposal to host the TC10/TC11 Summer School must proceed according to the [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School]].

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11">
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

Dear TC11 members,

This issue is almost all about workshops, with many interesting topics, some focusing directly on document analysis and recognition such as DAS workshop, while others explore related aspects such as trustworthy document understanding, heritage content or text information processing.

Also, find in this issue information about the first '''''virtual''''' ICPR conference, to be held in 2027 between this year’s ICPR 2026 (Lyon, France) and ICPR 2028 (Sydney, Australia).

In other news, IAPR President Prof. Robert Fisher will be a Keynote Speaker in ICPRAI 2026.

DAS 2026 will feature several keynote talks addressing timely and engaging topics in document analysis and recognition—any perceived enthusiasm on my part is, of course, entirely objective.

Happy reading.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="Virtual ICPR 2027 Inauguration ">

IAPR’s inaugural '''''VIRTUAL''''' ICPR 2027

The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) is pleased to introduce '''''the first'''''<br />
VIRTUAL 29th International Conference on Pattern Recognition 2027<br />
Conference URL: https://iapr.org/icpr-2027/<br />
Detailed CFP: https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CFPICPRv27vn1.pdf<br />
Conference dates: October 4,5,6, and 14,15, 2027<br />
PC Contact: icpr27pc@iapr.org

to occur between the IAPR’s flagship in-person ICPR conferences:<br />
- 2026 28th ICPR Lyon, France<br />
- 2028 30th ICPR Sydney, Australia

Papers will have the same length, reviewing, and quality as the in-person ICPRs. We anticipate about 500 papers. They will be published by Springer.

'''Why virtual?'''<br />
- In-person major international conferences typically cost $3000 to attend - Only one person from a lab typically can attend (due to cost) - Mainly only authors attend (due to cost) - The environmental impact of travel - Visa problems are restricting ability to travel

An online conference reduces accidental face-to-face interactions. However, it does allow new possibilities. Innovations that we are trying are:

* many (50+ depending on the paper topics) smaller thematic sessions that allow easier interactions between and with authors. Delegates can attend as many or as few sessions as they wish.
* Sessions are concentrated over 5 hours, but spread across 5 days and 2 weeks to give delegates space for their normal professional lives
* Extensive recording, so delegates can catch up on sessions they missed due to concurrent sessions or timetable conflicts.
* Open the conference platform 1 week before the conference, to allow browsing of the abstracts, papers, and short and long videos. This will make it easier to identify thematic sessions to attend, and authors to contact (using each paper’s persistent chat interface).
* Low attendance cost. We aim for $400 for authors and $25 for non-authors at this non-profit conference.

'''Conference topics'''<br />
Same as the traditional ICPR conference topics listed in the PDF CFP: https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CFPICPRv27vn1.pdf, we encourage papers on truly novel research problems.

The call for papers in the above link also contains tentative deadlines.

'''Key Organizers:'''<br />
General Chairs: Robert Fisher, Tin Kam Ho, Larry O’Gorman, Lale Akarun<br />
Program Chairs: Adel M. Alimi, David Doermann, Albert Ali Salah, Terrence Sim, Vitomir Struc, Guoying Zhao

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11">
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="ICPRAI 2026 - Call for Participation ">

Pattern Recognition and AI:<br />
What’s the core of AI? Come and witness how PR (Pattern Recognition) makes AI work (Artificial Intelligence) at the 5th international conference on PR & AI, Montreal, Canada, June 15-18, 2026.

Website: http://icprai2026.com

or Alternate Website: https://users.encs.concordia.ca/~icprai26/

where authors will present in person 70 state-of-the-art technical papers and 8 Competition papers. World-renowned Keynote Speakers composed of (a) the Editor-in-Chief of the journal of Pattern Recognition, (b) the President of IAPR (International Association for Pattern Recognition) who will talk about automated driving and what we do want from AI, and (c) Experts on deep learning and PR applications and solid-state batteries for Electrical Vehicles and various electrical appliances.

For Competitions, we have 8 discussion-provoking papers on the following topics:<br />
- Why a lot more people know “AI” than “PR”?<br />
- What role does “PR” play in “AI” applications?<br />
- Do “AI” and “PR” really need guardrails?<br />
- Should students use AI for homework and assignments, and how is AI re-shaping education, particularly higher education?

A panel of experts will share their experience on AI & PR in Scientific, financial, medical, industrial, educational, and other important topics in practical environments.

Also, World Scientific Publishing will exhibit their PRAI books on site.

We invite you to register at our website (above), which includes options for remote attendance and a very low fee for students.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11">
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

'''Workshop on Textual Information Processing & Synthesis in the Wild (TIPS 2026)'''<br />
Website: https://tips2026.midasoc.org/<br />
This workshop focuses on the automated understanding and interpretation of textual and visual patterns in complex document and scene contexts in images and videos. Research papers on different areas of document image and video analysis, document image editing, font analysis and synthesis, natural language processing, text summarization etc are welcome for this workshop.

Paper submission: May 05 2026 (All deadlines are strict at 23:59 AOE)

'''Trustworthy Document Understanding: Privacy, Unlearning, Robustness, and Explainability (TrustDoc)'''<br />
Website: https://sites.google.com/view/trustdoc/home<br />
Pattern recognition is the foundation of modern document image understanding, supporting progress in document classification, handwritten text recognition, DocVQA, and multimodal modeling of text, layout, and visual structure. As these systems are increasingly deployed in real-world, high-stakes environments, they must meet new expectations for trust, safety, and regulatory compliance.<br />
Current document image models are required to support machine unlearning, to resist imperceptible document forgeries and membership inference attacks, to preserve the privacy of sensitive handwritten or scanned data, and to offer transparent and interpretable decisions. These demands raise fundamental research questions on how models memorise and forget document-specific features, how handwritten text recognition can remain robust under regime changes, and how multimodal document representations should be evaluated from ethical and trustworthiness perspectives.

'''XAIE4 : 4th workshop on Explainable and Ethical AI'''<br />
Website: https://xaie4.sciencesconf.org/<br />
The problems related to Ethical AI are complex and broad and encompass not only technical issues but also legal, political and ethical ones. One of the key component of Ethical AI systems is explainability or transparency, but other issues like detecting bias, ability to control the outcomes, ability to objectively audit AI systems for ethics are also critical for successful applications and adoption of AI in society.

Many workshops in this field are held at top conferences, and we believe ICPR has to address this topic broadly and focus on its technical aspects. Our proposed workshop aims to address technical aspects of explainable and ethical AI in general, and include related applications and case studies with the aim to address this very important problems from a broad technical perspective.

'''Workshop on coMics ANalysis, Processing and Understanding (MANPU)'''<br />
''Website is not available yet.''<br />
MANPU deals with research activities about comics. The large variability of comic books and the complexity of their contents make comics analysis a kind of advanced problem of document image understanding or, more generally, knowledge-based scene recognition.

'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11">
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

=== ICPRAI 2026 Competition Track ===

[https://icprai2026.com/ The 5th ICPRAI] is introducing “Competitions” in its Program with three prizes of CAD$500 each, to bridge classical PR methods and modern AI challenges, to raise the awareness of the general public about the important role of “PR”, and to boost the image and visibility of “PR”.

Participants are invited to submit a '''''3-page discussion paper''''' on one or more of the following topics to our new TRACK “Competition”:

* Why a lot more people know “AI” than “PR”?<br />

* The important role “PR” plays in “AI” applications<br />

* Do “AI” and “PR” really need guardrails? And what about remedies when something goes wrong?

All participants are encouraged to submit discussion papers with illustrations to the competition ‘TRACK’ before February 15, 2026.

Authors of the “Best Discussion Papers” will receive cash prizes and their papers will be displayed at a distinct Notice Board at the conference.

'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11.

These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.

'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.

'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.

=== [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|TC10/11 Summer School]] ===

Part of the mission of TC11 is to promote high quality educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The "TC10/TC11 Summer School" is intended to become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The Summer School is meant to be a training activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.

A call for bids to host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School is distributed by TC10 and TC11 about one year before the School should take place.

Any consortium interested in making a proposal to host the TC10/TC11 Summer School must proceed according to the [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School]].
