About

The IEEE 15th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Systems (ICPRS) is an annual international event that follows ICPRS-24, ICPRS-23, ICPRS-22, ICPRS-21, ICPRS-19, ICPRS-18, ICPRS-17 and ICPRS-16, a continuation of the successful Chilean Conference on Pattern Recognition that reached its 6th edition in 2014. In 2025 it is organised by the University Adolfo Ibáñez (Viña del Mar, Chile) and the Chilean Association for Pattern Recognition (ACHiRP, a member of the IAPR), endorsed by the IAPR and the IEEE Chile Section. As per previous years, papers deemed to be of the required standard AND presented at the conference are planned to be published by the IEEE and indexed in IEEE Xplore. Please note that the publishers might reject papers which are too similar to previous publications, even if the work is presented at the conference. All papers need to be submitted via Conftool to be peer-reviewed (double-blind) by an international panel of experts.

There will be prizes (first and runner up) for the best paper overall and for the best student paper (where the first author is a student), that will be invited to submit extended versions for consideration for a Special Section in the Pattern Recognition Letters journal.

The International Conference on Pattern Recognition Systems (ICPRS-25) aims to create an important networking forum in which participants can discuss the present and future of pattern recognition systems.

Its predecessors ICPRS-24, ICPRS-23, ICPRS-22, ICPRS-21, ICPRS-19, ICPRS-18, ICPRS-17, ICPRS-16, CWPR and CCPR, have traditionally been a meeting point of different disciplines (computer science, engineering, mathematics, machine learning, etc.) and an opportunity for a wide range of researchers and practitioners to discuss the many different aspects of the application of pattern recognition technologies.

Call For Papers

The IEEE 15th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Systems (ICPRS) is an annual international event that follows ICPRS-24, ICPRS-23, ICPRS-22, ICPRS-21, ICPRS-19, ICPRS-18, ICPRS-17 and ICPRS-16, a continuation of the successful Chilean Conference on Pattern Recognition that reached its 6th edition in 2014. In 2025 it is organised by the University Adolfo Ibáñez (Viña del Mar, Chile) and the Chilean Association for Pattern Recognition (ACHiRP, a member of the IAPR), endorsed by the IAPR and the IEEE Chile Section. As per previous years, papers deemed to be of the required standard AND presented at the conference, are planned to be published by the IEEE and indexed in IEEE Xplore. Please note that the publishers might reject papers which are too similar to previous publications, even if the work is presented at the conference. All paper submissions need to be submitted via Conftool to be peer-reviewed (double-blind) by an international panel of experts.

We also welcome "Datasets Papers" that introduce a new public dataset and a baseline to encourage new lines of research.

This conference will be a 100% in-person event.

There will be a special category of "Student Papers", where the first author must be a student (undergraduate or postgraduate). There will be a special prize for best student paper.

All paper submissions will be submitted on-line to be peer-reviewed by an international panel of experts. Please note that all papers will be checked by a plagiarism detecting software so that papers that exceed a threshold of coincidence will not be passed on for reviews.

Also please note that reviews will be double-blind so please do not include author names and affiliations in your paper (also do not cite your previous work as "in our previous paper [x]", etc.).

There is an A4 pdf version of the conference call for papers as well as an A3 size version and an A2 size version, suitable for printing and displaying on announcement boards! :-)

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers describing novel and previously unpublished results on all aspects of Pattern Recognition Systems, from academia, industry, NGOs and others, to be selected for oral presentations or posters, on topics including, but not limited to:

  • Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Pattern Recognition
  • Bioinformatics Clustering
  • Biometrics (including face recognition)

Since 2004, he has been with the Universidad de Valparaíso, where he is currently a Full Professor with the Biomedical Engineering School and Teaches in data mining, probability and statistics, and machine learning. He is also a Main Researcher with the Center of Research and Development in Health Engineering (CINGS-UV). He participates in several programs with the Universidad de Valparaíso, such as the Biomedical engineering, the M.Sc. degree in biomedical engineering, the M.Sc. degree in statistics, the Ph.D. degree in Statistics, and the Ph.D. degree in science and engineering for health. His research interests include computational intelligence, data science, decision support systems, intelligent systems and their applications to finance, air pollution, healthcare, and medicine. He is the Director of its "Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigación Biomédica e Ingeniería para la Salud - MEDING" and principal investigator in Chile's Millennium Institute of Engineerint and Artificial Intelligence for Health - iHEALTH.

Programme

To be announced after paper acceptance.

Registration

All authors of accepted papers and all other attendees, will need to register through EventBrite* (tbc, the link will be provided after the acceptance notification date)

For an accepted paper to be presented and published, it needs to be associated to an "Author Full Fee" registration (and not to a Student or an Other registration). If only a student author is attending the conference and presenting their paper, then they need to pay an "Author full fee" (and not the student fee). We have to operate like this to cover conference and publishing costs. Also, if one of the authors registers as "Author Full Fee", additional authors of the same paper who also want to attend the conference only need to pay a lower fee e.g. as Student or Other, as appropriate to their status. Following IAPR policy, each author full fee registration will cover the presentation of up to three papers by the registered person who also needs to be a co-author of those papers. Presentation of additional papers beyond those three, by the same conference delegate will require the payment of an additional full author fee. In all cases there are reductions for members of the sponsoring organisations.

The fee structure will be announced later in the year.

(*) please note that there is an extra charge by EventBrite of about 8%-10%
