Workshop Scope

The GREEN-PR workshop aims to bring together researchers and
practitioners working on sustainable approaches to pattern recognition
as well as pattern recognition techniques applied to environmental
challenges.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


Sustainable Pattern Recognition

    Energy-efficient and low-carbon pattern recognition methods
    Green AI and sustainable machine learning for pattern recognition
    Model compression, pruning, quantization, and efficient architectures
    Resource-aware learning (computation, memory, energy)
    Life-cycle assessment of pattern recognition and AI systems
    Benchmarking and metrics for sustainability in pattern recognition
    Sustainable data acquisition, annotation, and management
    Federated, distributed, and edge learning for sustainable PR
    Responsible and environmentally conscious AI methodologies


Pattern Recognition for Environment

    Pattern recognition for environmental monitoring and protection
    Remote sensing, satellite and aerial imagery analysis
    Biodiversity monitoring and species recognition
    Climate, weather, and environmental data analysis
    Pattern recognition for pollution detection and assessment
    Earth observation and geospatial data analysis
    Environmental change detection and long-term monitoring
    Pattern recognition for natural hazards and disaster management
    AI for agriculture, forestry, and ecosystem management


Cross-Cutting Topics

    Sustainability-aware benchmarks and datasets
    Explainable and trustworthy pattern recognition for environmental applications
    Ethical, societal, and policy aspects of sustainable PR
    Case studies and real-world deployments
    Interdisciplinary approaches combining pattern recognition, environmental science, and sustainability
