In recent years, pattern recognition has become a hot research topic thanks to recent advancements in deep machine learning driven by big data. In light of the fast-paced advancements in pattern recognition taking place all over the world, it is of great interest to keep an eye on state-of-the-art research and development and to facilitate collaboration in multidisciplinary research areas. With this end in mind, it's a great pleasure for me to invite you to participate in the 5th International Workshop on Pattern Recognition during June 5-7, 2020. As you have been aware, COVID-19 has evolved into a pandemic, and the safety and well-being of our participants is of paramount importance to us. Therefore, after serious consideration, the committee made the difficult decision to have IWPR 2020 as a fully virtual conference.
