This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 23rd Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition, CIARP 2018, held in Madrid, Spain, in November 2018 The 112 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 187 submissions The program was comprised of 6 oral sessions on the following topics: machine learning, computer vision, classification, biometrics and medical applications, and brain signals, and also on: text and character analysis, human interaction, and sentiment analysis

The main idea and the driver of further research in the area of face recognition are security applications and human-computer interaction. Face recognition represents an intuitive and non-intrusive method of recognizing people and this is why it became one of three identification methods used in e-passports and a biometric of choice for many other security applications. This goal of this book is to provide the reader with the most up to date research performed in automatic face recognition. The chapters presented use innovative approaches to deal with a wide variety of unsolved issues.
