Behaviormetrics and Information Engineering/Science have been developing in parallel and different research fields, although they are both involved in “information processing”. However, the recent remarkable development of information processing and the communication infrastructure typical in computers and on the Internet is increasing the potential relationship between the two fields. In particular, the field of intelligent information processing necessitates more and more probabilistic and statistical methods as well as multivariate data analysis methods, an example of which is the expanding of its research fronts to deal with vast, various and uncertain information in the real world. The purpose of this article is to overview the recent research trends of intelligent information processing and to prospect the possibility and necessity of closer interaction and collaboration between behaviormetrics and information engineering in the future.
