- Place: PLV G315
- Textbook: Pattern
Classification (2nd. Edition) by Duda, Hart and
Stork
- Description:
Pattern Recognition techniques are useful in many applications of
computer science and information systems, such as information retrieval,
data
mining, artificial intelligence and image processing. This course is
an introduction to the foundation of pattern recognition
algorithms.
Topics to be studied: data structures for pattern representation,
feature extraction and selection, parametric and non-parametric
classification, supervised and non-supervised learning, clustering,
decision trees, nearest neighbor, artificial neural networks
and hidden Markov models. Applications of
various classification techniques will be demonstrated by several
on-going handwriting, graphics, and speech recognition projects.
- Prerequisites: CS242 Data
