Dear TC11 members,
This issue is out on the first day of ICDAR 2024 (pre-conference events start today). For those of you who are attending ICDAR, I hope you enjoy the conference and your stay in Athens.
The calls for papers for ICDAR 2025 and the associated ICDAR-IJDAR journal track can be found in this issue. Please pay attention to the submission instructions of the IJDAR journal track.
A draft of a new book on mathematical information retrieval has been released. The authors would greatly appreciate feedback and comments before the final draft is out later this year. Find more details inside this issue.
This issue also includes a repost of a still-open job offer for a post-doc position at LTU in Luleå, Sweden. I repost here as well the open call for organizing our major DAR events that will be held in the coming years.
Have a nice ICDAR 2024!

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 2027)
- DAS: International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems (satellite event of ICDAR in even years; next possibility in 2026)
- GREC: International Workshop on Graphics Recognition (satellite event of ICDAR in odd years; next possibility in 2025)
- SSDA: Summer School on Document Analysis (biannually in odd years; next possibility in 2025)
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.

This is a call for papers for the IJDAR journal track of ICDAR 2025. Please note that there is both a standard conference paper track and a journal track at ICDAR 2025. The details regarding the journal track maybe found as a separate Call for Papers in the following link:
https://www.icdar2025.com/submission/journal-track
IJDAR Journal Track Important Dates
- Nov 15, 2024: Journal track paper submission deadline
- Jan 10, 2025: Initial journal track decision announced
- Mar 14, 2025: Journal track paper revise submission deadline
- May 23, 2025: Final notification
IJDAR Journal Track Submission Guidelines:
Authors should submit their papers via the ICDAR 2025 collection on the IJDAR website. Please choose ICDAR 2025 from the collection dropdown on the “Details” page of the submission process.
Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Special Issue. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least three independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Manuscripts will be subject to a peer reviewing process and must conform to the author guidelines available on the IJDAR website at:
https://link.springer.com/journal/10032/updates/27412600
Publication: Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The conference proceedings will be published as part of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Accepted papers will be freely available through SpringerLink from the conference website for one year after publication, and will later be freely available through SpringerLink four years after publication.
The first draft for a new book on mathematical information retrieval has been released. The book includes discussions on segmenting and recognizing formulas for use in math-aware search engines. The draft is available on arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.11646.
The book is planned to appear in the series Foundations and Trends in Information Retrieval in the coming year. Please have a look if this is of interest, and any comments or questions would be greatly received at rxzvcs@rit.edu. Details are below.
Book Title: Mathematical Information Retrieval: Search and Question Answering
Authors: Richard Zanibbi, Behrooz Mansouri, Anurag Agarwal
Mathematical information is essential for technical work, but its creation, interpretation, and search are challenging. To help address these challenges, researchers have developed multimodal search engines and mathematical question answering systems. This book begins with a simple framework characterizing the information tasks that people and systems perform as we work to answer math-related questions. The framework is used to organize and relate the other core topics of the book, including interactions between people and systems, representing math formulas in sources, and evaluation. We close with some key questions and concrete directions for future work. This book is intended for use by students, instructors, and researchers, and those who simply wish that it was easier to find and use mathematical information.
Draft link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.11646
The Machine Learning Research subject at LTU has an open scholarship position available in the area of Machine Learning and Computer Vision with a focus on Document Analysis. We offer state-of-the-art resources for performing research and a good academic network in Sweden and abroad. The Post-Doc Scholarship is for two years, and is for work in Luleå, Sweden.
The postdoctoral researcher will work with Professor Elisa Barney on computer vision research to use Machine learning and Image Processing on historical documents. Potential techniques include unsupervised learning, one-shot learning and quick system adaptation. Document comparison and retrieval are also topics of interest. The Post-Doc should furthermore strongly participate in acquisition of future projects, which could lead to an extension of the position.
QUALIFICATIONS
To qualify for a position as a postdoctoral research fellow on scholarship, you must have a PhD or equivalent in the fields of computer science, computer engineering or electrical engineering, although a researcher from the humanities with a strong technical background would be considered. We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate capable of conducting state-of-the-art research as demonstrated through a record of peer reviewed publications. We expect candidates to have a good knowledge of English both in speech and writing and have the capacity to work independently as well as in teams. As LTU is very strong in application-oriented research, industrial experience is very welcome. The Machine Learning group is very diverse and welcomes diverse applicants.
APPLICATION
We prefer that you apply for this position through the web link below. The application must include a CV and a personal letter stating topics you propose to work on including how they fit in with current research in the ML group and of Professor Elisa Barney in particular, and how you view the role of a postdoctoral researcher as part of a research team. Also include copies of verified diplomas from universities. Your application, including diplomas, must be written in English. Mark your application with the reference number below.
INFORMATION
For further information, please contact: Professor Elisa Barney, elisa.barney@ltu.se
Applicants will be reviewed as they come in. Final day to apply: 2024-09-15

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).
