Study Notes
Generalization and Inference
- The mind abstracts the general idea from a pool of existing representations
- Generalization involves identifying patterns and recognizing emerging trends
Performance Task: Group Reporting
- Each group will be assigned a specific decade (1970, 1980, 1990, or 2000)
- Tasks:
- Prepare a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation
- One/Two notes for presentation (5-8 slides)
- One/two notes for explanation (8-10 minutes)
- Hand-out on long bond paper (1-2 pages, Century Gothic, 11)
- Criteria for evaluation:
- PowerPoint Presentation (10 points)
- Explanation (10 points)
- Hand-out (5 points) Total: 25 points
Trend and Fad Characteristics
- Fad:
- Hyped or advertised (usually by media)
- Dependent on marketing
- People tend to forget about it
- Limited scope (catered to a limited group of people)
- No formidable support system
- Relatively brief (few weeks to a few months)
- Limited utility (only in directly related areas)
- Trend:
- Endures with or without publicity
- Continues for a long period of time with or without advertisements
- Wide scope (catered to a wide audience or large group of consumers)
- Supported by socioeconomic, political, and religio-cultural factors
- Efforts are conducted to bolster the longevity of the trend
- Long period of time (months and years)
- Different areas which may or may not be related
Stages of Pattern Recognition
- Representation: Real-world objects are represented in a formal way, integrating observations with existing knowledge
- Adaptation: Intermediary state between representation and generalization, adapting methodology or problem statement to enhance recognition
- Evaluation: Estimates the performance of pattern recognition on known training and validation data
- Generalization: Abstracts the general idea from a pool of existing representations
