This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th Mexican Conference on Pattern Recognition, MCPR 2018, held in Puebla, Mexico, in June 2018. The 28 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: pattern recognition principles; deep learning, neural networks and associative memories; data mining; and computer vision.
