Preface

摘要

The 6th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition (IWAIPR 2018) was the biennial event of a series of pioneer conferences on artificial intelligence and pattern recognition in the scientific community active in these fields in Cuba and other countries. As has been the case for previous editions of the conference, IWAIPR 2018 hosted worldwide participants with the aim of promoting and disseminating ongoing research on mathematical methods and computing techniques for artificial intelligence and pattern recognition, in particular in bioinformatics, cognitive and humanoid vision, computer vision, image analysis and intelligent data analysis, as well as their application in a number of diverse areas such as industry, health, robotics, data mining, opinion mining and sentiment analysis, telecommunications, document analysis, and natural language processing and recognition. Moreover, IWAIPR 2018 was a forum for the scientific community to exchange research experience, to share new knowledge, and to increase the cooperation among research groups working in artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and related areas.
