;Definition of issue’s scope: 
 
This special issue identifies the following knowledge related challenges in the current 
field of pattern recognition: 
:- Combining high (semantic) and low level information for pattern recognition. 
Such needs appear in apparently unrelated fields like motion understanding, 
content based image retrieval (CBIR) 
:- Combining multi-modal information which can not be subject of conventional  error measures, impeding the application of state-of-the-art error minimization  approaches. The sources of information are heterogeneous, and its combination  leads to unmeasurable data types. For instance, in the field of biomedical  information processing, a wide diversity information sources may be used to  reach a diagnosis that can be validated by the human operator. 
:- New views on uncertainty, ambiguity and data artifacts (i.e. noise, missing data)  allowing to effectively deal with them in a systematic and integrative way. 


These challenges are currently being addressed from a number of points of view. The 
development of semantic based pattern recognition systems, able to learn ontologies 
from data, even heterogeneous data, as well as of ontology based reasoning allow for 
the interplay between high-level semantics and low-level features. Hybrid systems 
combining ontologies with fuzzy systems allow introduce uncertain modeling and 
reasoning in the semantic domain. Lattice computing approaches allow seamlessly 
treatment of heterogeneous data through lattice theory, while allowing new more robust 
reasoning process diverging from the conventional statistics framework. Still, despite a 
long tradition of research and results, new classification algorithms are being extended 
to deal with heterogenous, ambiguous and artifact prone data. Also new ways of 
interactive development of systems, such as active learning or reinforcement feedback 
approaches can help to improve the efficiency of learning under scarce or expensive 
data collection. The special issue invites works on these areas showing the interplay 
between high level semantics and low level statistical and bio-inspired data processing 
techniques.
