In today’s digital era, patterns are omnipresent, shaping many aspects of our lives. These patterns can be physically observed or computationally identified through sophisticated algorithms. In the digital realm, patterns are often represented as vectors or matrices of feature values. With the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing and processing these features.
Machine learning, a core branch of AI, empowers computers to make decisions with minimal human intervention by leveraging pattern data. Deep learning, a subfield of ML, has gained significant attention for its ability to handle complex, high-dimensional data. The use of ML and DL models for extracting and analyzing meaningful features from text, images, videos, or sensor data is the foundation of pattern recognition (PR).
Pattern recognition is a critical enabler for a wide range of applications, including computer vision, sensor data analysis, natural language processing, speech recognition, robotics, bioinformatics, and beyond. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies that advance the field of PR through ML and DL approaches.
