The Technical Committee on Statistical Pattern Recognition Techniques (TC1) of the International Association for Pattern Recognition assigns the Pierre Devijver Award at the biannual S+SSPR workshop. The award commemorates Pierre Devijver, who was one of the founding pioneers of statistical pattern recognition (see a list of past winners here).

We call for nominations of candidates for the 2024 award, which will be made at the S+SSPR 2024 workshop :https://sites.google.com/view/s-sspr-2024/

The winner will be expected to deliver the Pierre Devijver Award Lecture in person during the workshop.

We solicit nominations for outstanding candidates for the award to be selected from leading scientists who have contributed significantly to the field of statistical pattern recognition and closely cognate fields. The award committee (consisting of the previous Pierre Devijver award winners) will evaluate the nominations to select the awardee.

Please forward the name of your nominees by email to the TC1 chair ambra[dot]demontis[at]unica.it with a maximum of two nominations per nominator using [IAPR-TC1-PDA] as subject line no later than May 15, 2024.

We are looking forward to receiving a strong set of nominees.
