Summary

In today's digital era, patterns are omnipresent, shaping many aspects of our lives. These patterns can be physically observed or computationally identified through sophisticated algorithms. In the digital realm, patterns are often represented as vectors or matrices of feature values. With the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing and processing these features.


Machine learning, a core branch of AI, empowers computers to make decisions with minimal human intervention by leveraging pattern data. Deep learning, a subfield of ML, has gained significant attention for its ability to handle complex, high-dimensional data. The use of ML and DL models for extracting and analyzing meaningful features from text, images, videos, or sensor data is the foundation of pattern recognition (PR).


Pattern recognition is a critical enabler for a wide range of applications, including computer vision, sensor data analysis, natural language processing, speech recognition, robotics, bioinformatics, and beyond. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies that advance the field of PR through ML and DL approaches.


We invite high-quality original research articles and comprehensive reviews that contribute to both theoretical developments and practical applications in the domain of pattern recognition. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Image processing, segmentation, and recognition
· Computer vision
· Speech recognition
· Automated target recognition

    FEAM-Swin: A Lightweight Frequency Aware Swin Transformer for Efficient Hyperspectral Image Classification

    Farhan Ullah, Irfan Ullah, Khalil Khan, Sarra Ayouni, Quan Wang
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.087860
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Machine Learning and Deep Learning-Based Pattern Recognition, 2nd Edition)
    Abstract Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification requires models that can effectively capture long-range contextual dependencies while preserving fine-grained spectral–spatial variations under strict computational constraints. Recent transformer-based approaches, particularly Swin Transformers, have shown strong performance by leveraging localized self-attention; however, their reliance on generic attention mechanisms often overlooks frequency-sensitive information that is critical for discriminating spectrally similar materials. Moreover, existing frequency-aware designs typically introduce heavy parameterization or explicit spectral transforms, limiting their efficiency and practical deployment. In this paper, we propose FEAM-Swin, a lightweight frequency-aware Swin Transformer designed for efficient HSI classification. The proposed model introduces a novel… More >

    Edge-Oriented Infrared Ship Pattern Recognition in Complex Maritime Scenes via Deep Feature Enhancement and Teacher-Guided Distillation

    Hongliang Tian, Chenying Pei, Jin Lei, Xiaoke Liu, Xin Ma
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.087611
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Machine Learning and Deep Learning-Based Pattern Recognition, 2nd Edition)
    Abstract Infrared ship detection is an important deep learning-based pattern recognition task for maritime visual perception, where accurate target recognition under complex thermal backgrounds is essential for intelligent monitoring and real-time decision support. However, low target-background contrast, sea-wave thermal textures, coastline heat-source interference, and specular thermal reflections in infrared maritime imaging weaken discriminative ship patterns and reduce recognition reliability in complex scenes. To address these challenges, we propose an edge-oriented infrared ship detection method for real-time maritime monitoring. The proposed method reconstructs the feature pyramid by integrating a Wavelet-Frequency Enhancement Module (WFEM) with a Dynamic Multi-Scale… More >

    Dual-Stream Facial Emotion Recognition with Self-Supervised Pre-Training and Evidential Uncertainty

    Rashid Jahangir, Nazik Alturki, Mohammed Alreshoodi
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.086137
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Machine Learning and Deep Learning-Based Pattern Recognition, 2nd Edition)
    Abstract Facial emotion recognition (FER) remains difficult in real-world settings. Inter-subject variability, lighting changes, occlusion, and class imbalance all limit performance. Most FER systems rely on one convolutional or transformer backbone. This narrows the features available for classification. This paper presents Dual-Stream FERNet. It is a carefully evaluated integration of an EfficientNetV2-S backbone with a Swin Transformer Tiny backbone, joined by a learnable sigmoid-gated fusion module. Before fine-tuning, both branches undergo SimCLR-style self-supervised pre-training on two augmented views. This gives a stronger initialization without extra labels. An Evidential Deep Learning head then produces class probabilities and… More >

    Muhammad Sheraz, Adil Majeed, Shehzad Khalid, Yazeed Alkhrijah, Sulieman S. Alshuhri, Hasan Mujtaba
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.148, No.2, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.086256
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Machine Learning and Deep Learning-Based Pattern Recognition, 2nd Edition)
    Abstract Emotion recognition plays a crucial role in enabling intelligent human–computer interaction, yet research in low-resource languages such as Urdu remains limited, particularly in multimodal settings. This study proposes a multimodal deep learning framework for Urdu emotion recognition by integrating speech and text modalities. The approach leverages transformer-based models, namely wav2vec 2.0 for audio representation and MuRIL for text representation, combined using a late fusion strategy for classification. Experiments were conducted on the UMED dataset, consisting of 8269 multimodal instances across five emotion classes. The proposed multimodal model achieved an accuracy of 0.701 and an F1-score More >
