This paper tackles automated screening of Retinopa- thy of Prematurity (ROP), one of the most common causes of visual loss in childhood. Clinically, ROP screening per case requires multiple color fundus images capturing different zones of the premature retina. A desirable model shall not only make a decision at the case level, but also pinpoint which instances and what part of the instances are responsible for the decision. This paper makes the first attempt to accomplish three tasks, i.e. ROP case classification, instance selection and abnormality localization in a unified framework. To that end, we propose a new model that effectively combines instance-attention based deep multiple instance learning (MIL) and spatial attention (SA). The propose model, which we term MIL-SA, identifies positive instances in light of their contributions to case-level decision. Meanwhile, abnormal regions in the identified instances are automatically localized by the SA mechanism. Moreover, MIL-SA is learned from case-level binary labels exclusively, and in an end-to-end manner. Experiments on a large clinical dataset of 2,186 cases with 11,053 fundus images show the viability of the proposed model for all the three tasks.

ICPR 2020 is the premier international conference on Pattern Recognition, gathering leading researchers from around the world to present their latest achievements in Pattern Analysis and Recognition, applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The topic of the year is " Putting Artificial intelligence to work on Patterns". 
For the first time, ICPR has employed a two-round review process similar to journal submissions, with new papers allowed to be submitted in either the first or second round and papers submitted in the first round and not accepted allowed to be revised and re-submitted for second round review. 

In this edition of the **ICPR 2020** Conference, there are 1407 Oral/Poster presentations organized in five Tracks: 
- Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning for Pattern Analysis; 
- Biometrics, Human Analysis and Behavior Understanding; Computer Vision, Robotics and Intelligent Systems; 
- Document and Media Analysis; and 
- Image and Signal Processing. 

The **ICPR 2020** Main Conference program also includes 7 Keynotes from prominent world-renowned scientists, 8 Tutorials, 28 Demos, 8 Challenges, 2 Panels, as well as an Industry/Sponsor Exhibition. In addition, 41 Workshops on a range of important current and emerging research topics complete the ICPR 2020 program.
