Aims and Scope
Driven by advances in machine learning and large-scale data, pattern recognition has rapidly evolved into a central research area spanning computer vision, signal and speech processing, and natural language understanding. SPRA 2026 aims to showcase the state of the art and to catalyze cross-disciplinary collaboration that translates fundamental progress into impactful applications.
We cordially invite researchers, practitioners, and sponsors to the 6th Symposium on Pattern Recognition and Applications (SPRA 2026), to be held in Osaka, Japan, March 19–21, 2026. The program will feature oral and poster presentations and special sessions, fostering focused, high-quality exchanges with leading experts worldwide. We anticipate that the discussions at SPRA 2026 will spark new ideas, advance methodology, and highlight breakthroughs and challenges shaping the field.
We look forward to welcoming you to SPRA 2026 and to the vibrant city of Osaka for a valuable and enjoyable experience.
