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 2026)
- HIP: International Workshop on Historical Document Imaging and Processing (satellite event of ICDAR in odd years; next possibility in 2026)
- GREC: International Workshop on Graphics Recognition (satellite event of ICDAR in odd years; next possibility in 2027)
- SSDA: Summer School on Document Analysis (biannually in odd years; 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 jean-christophe.burie@univ-lr.fr and andreas.fischer@unifr.ch, in order to receive feedback and support for preparing a proposal.

The 8th Asian Conference on Pattern Recognition (ACPR 2025) will be hosted on the stunning Gold Coast of Australia, from November 10 to 13, 2025. The Gold Coast is a vibrant and diverse city, offering a wealth of opportunities for academic and professional development. With over 150 events and conferences already scheduled, it serves as a dynamic hub for global collaboration and innovation. The Asian Conference on Pattern Recognition (ACPR) is supported by the International Association of Pattern Recognition and covering a wide range of research domains, including computer vision, image, speech, sensor pattern processing and machine intelligence. It is a 4-day single track event that comprises the main conference, Tutorials, and Workshops. ACPR2025 provides a great opportunity to nurture new ideas and collaborations for students, academics and industry researchers.
Main Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) pattern recognition, computer vision, signal processing and DAR-related topics such as handwriting recognition, document analysis and understanding and multimedia analysis and retrieval (under the topic of “media processing and interaction”).

TC11 Datasets Repository
Did you know it? We have two official places for datasets:
- Our historical platform for storage and listing: http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org
- A Zenodo community (if you choose to submit your datasets there): https://zenodo.org/communities/iapr-tc11
TC11 maintains a collection of datasets that can be found online in the TC11 Datasets Repository.
If you have new datasets (e.g., from competitions) that you wish to share with the research community, please use the online upload form. For questions and support, please contact the TC11 Dataset Curator (contact information is below).
