Description:
Minimization problems and optimization methods permeate computer vision (CV), pattern recognition (PR), and many other fields of machine intelligence. This is because many approaches to CV&PR involve optimization tasks, and, at a more basic level, several problems can be cast as the minimization of some basic quantity (often called an energy).

Instances of (energy) minimization problems arise in Bayesian decision making, Markov random fields, relaxation labeling, neural networks, variational formulations, support vector machines, regularization, to mention only a few (not necessarily mutually exclusive) areas/frameworks of CV&PR, with roots in disciplines such as statistics, (statistical) physics, and psychophysics.

The aim of this workshop, which is the third of a series, is to bring together people with research interests in this interdisciplinary topic.
