Bulletins

Now that I've got your attention, there are a couple things I'd like to mention about the book reviews in the IAPR Newsletter:

Book Authors - I request that authors of newly published books in pattern recognition and related fields please inform me of this so a review can be written for the Newsletter.

Potential Book Reviewers - I have a backlog of books that need to be reviewed, and I would appreciate experts in areas related to the books' topics to offer to review these. I will send the book to reviewers. Yes, you get to keep the book. If you think you might like to review a book, but need more information, just go to the web site of the publisher or a web book seller like amazon.com. Below are some of the books I'd appreciate help reviewing:

¨ "Handbook of Mathematical Models in Computer Vision", N. Paragios, Y. Chen, O. Faugeras (ed.s), Springer, 2006

¨ "The Geometry of Information Retrieval", K. van Rijsbergen, Cambridge University Press, 2004

¨ "Applied Combinatorics on Words", M. Lothaire, Cambridge University Press, 2005

¨ "Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms", D. J. C. MacKay, Cambridge University Press, 2003

¨ "Prediction, Learning, and Games", N. Cesa-Bianchi, G. Lugosi, Cambridge University Press, 2006

¨ "Graph-Theoretic Techniques for Web Content Mining", A. Schenker, et al., World Scientific, 2005
