The 15th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Networks (CECNet 2025)

Abstract: This talk is about (a) Pattern Recognition, the backbone of Artificial Intelligence, ways of recognizing different types of patterns and visible objects using image processing and machine learning methodologies, and (b) AI - Artificial Intelligence, a bit of history, theory, and various applications. We also present the use of ViT, GPT, and deep learning techniques to recognize
handwriting, to measure facial beauty, and to detect fake coins automatically. This system consists of feature measurement, 3D analysis, fuzzy set analysis, advanced PR, AI and ML techniques. For validation, many real world samples have been tested, and a near 100% accuracy hasbeen achieved. Numerous examples will be demonstrated during this talk.

Biography: Prof. Suen is the Honorary Chair of AI and Pattern Recognition of Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. He is also the Founder and Co-Director of the world renowned Centre for Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence (CENPARMI). He received an M.Sc. degree from the University of Hong Kong and a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia. A Principal Investigator or Consultant of 30 industrial projects, Dr. Suen has published 8 conference proceedings, 16 books and more than 630 papers.

Dr. Suen is the recipient of the IAPR 2020 King-Sun Fu Prize (top honour in the field of Pattern Recognition given to only one person every two years) for "Pioneering research and exceptional contributions to handwriting recognition" leading to the modern way of writing messages with a finger on the surface of cell phones. As a former Editor-in-Chief of the Pattern Recognition Journal for ten years, he received the Elsevier Award of Excellence (2016), Gold Medal from the University of Bari (Italy 2012), CIPPR and ICDAR Awards (2005), the very prestigious ITAC/NSERC national award of $50,000 (1992, together with Prof. G. Hinton of Toronto), and numerous others.

Prof. Suen is not only the founder of three international conferences: ICDAR, IWFHR/ ICFHR, and ICPRAI, but is also the General Chair of many international conferences around the world including ICPR, ICDAR, ICFHR, ICPRAI, ICCPOL, and Honorary Chair of numerous others. He has supervised 120 doctoral and master students to completion, and guided/hosted 100 long-term visiting scientists and professors. Currently, he is the Emeritus Editor-in-Chief of the journal of Pattern Recognition, an Adviser or Associate Editor of 5 other journals, and Editor of a new book series on Language Processing, Pattern Recognition, and Intelligent Systems.
