The TC3 is one of the Technical Committees of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). The scope of the Technical Committee 3 is not only artificial neural networks, but also what presently is called Computational Intelligence, including at least artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computing like genetic algorithms, and those branches of statistics and machine learning that are relevant to the above fields. However, the emphasis is on pattern recognition problems rather than general function approximation, to make our profile different from and sharper than computational intelligence in general.

If you want to become a member of the TC3 and the TC3 mailing list, plese contact the TC3 chair.
Currently (February 2012) more than 220 scientists are member of the TC3 mailing list.

Several papers dealing with neural networks regularly appear in most important journals and conferences related to the Pattern Recognition community. However, these contributions are in some way spread and unrelated, and there is the need for a focussed place of discussion in order to analyze recent advances and future directions in both theoretical and applicative aspects. Workshop aim is bringing together researchers dealing with theoretical aspects of Artificial Neural Networks and their applications in the Pattern Recognition domain.

The following workshops have been organized by the TC3 :

• ANNPR 2010 - Nile University Cairo (Egypt)
• ANNPR 2008 - Pierre et Marie Curie University in Paris (France)
• ANNPR 2006 - University of Ulm (Germany)
• NNLDAR 2005 - Seoul (Korea) Neural Networks and Learning in Document Analysis and Recognition
• ANNPR 2003 - University of Florence (Italy)

• Artificial neural networks for document analysis and recognition
