Study Notes
Introduction to Pattern Recognition Systems
- Learning by experience is a key human capability
- Recognizing digits, characters (size, case, rotation, occlusion) is possible
- Humans are fascinated by recognizing patterns in nature and trying to understand these patterns
- Generalizing experiences to make machines learn is a challenging task
- Creating machines that make decisions and learn from experience is a fundamental principle
- Pattern recognition systems have advanced significantly
- Theoretical research in statistics for various models was prominent in early days
- Computer technology advances lead to increased practical applications
- Now, pattern recognition is a core part of machine intelligence and decision-making systems
- Various mathematical/statistical techniques are used
Pattern Recognition
- Categorizing input data into identifiable classes based on significant features.
- Focus on extracting features from a background of irrelevant data
- Pattern recognition aims at identifying patterns in data, classifying data, and determining characteristics
- A pattern is the opposite of chaos, defined vaguely, and given a name
- Examples of patterns include fingerprints, handwritten words, faces, and speech signals.
- Wide range of applications including biology, psychology, medicine, marketing, AI, computer vision, and remote sensing
- Key aspects for a pattern recognition system include data representation, classification, and prototyping
Pattern Recognition Approaches
- Four main approaches:
- Template matching
- Statistical classification
- Syntactic matching
- Neural networks
- Template matching: Comparing input to stored templates/prototypes
- Statistical approach: Classifies patterns based on statistical properties (e.g., random variables)
- Syntactic approach: Represents patterns as a combination of simple sub-patterns
- Neural networks approach: Emphasizes interconnections similar to biological neural systems
Template Matching
- Simple and early approach to pattern recognition
- Matching input to stored templates/prototypes to assess similarity
- Takes into account allowable operations (translation, rotation, scaling)
- Matching involves determining similarity between two entities, like points, curves, or shapes
Statistical Pattern Recognition
- Assumes statistical basis for classification
- Creates random parameters to represent pattern properties
- Determines the class (category) to which input belongs
- Uses statistical methodologies (e.g., hypothesis testing, correlation)
- Employs models like the Bayesian classifier for implementation
Syntactic Pattern Recognition
- Focus on inter-relationships among features in hierarchical structure
- Represents patterns using symbolic structures (e.g., arrays, strings, trees, graphs)
- Analyzes relationships between components of patterns (similar sub-patterns)
- Compares symbolic representation of input to predefined templates to measure similarity
Neural Networks
- Modeled after biological neural systems
- Parallel computing environment
- Neural network approach is considered a parametric model, similar to statistical methods
- Used for pattern recognition, and machine learning systems
- Interconnections of numerous simple processors.
Feature Extraction and Reduction
- Process of selecting relevant features from input data for the system
- Choosing features that are pertinent to the task at hand
- Features can be obtained through mathematical tools or feature extraction algorithms
- Features are represented as continuous, discrete, or binary variables
- Feature extraction may involve measurements and calculations on input data that identify characteristics
Cluster Analysis
- Grouping data points into homogenous clusters/groups
- Points within each group are similar to each other and different from other groups
- Similarity defined by specific criteria.
- Useful in high-dimensional spaces (difficult natural interpretations)
- Clustering methods found across many fields, including biology, psychology, geology, info retrieval, and pattern recognition
- Cluster analysis is useful in pattern recognition by grouping patterns into similar categories.
- Data reduction, hypothesis generation, hypothesis testing, and predictive modelling
Classifiers Design
- Classifiers partition feature space into regions
- Boundary between regions defines a decision boundary of a classifier.
- Classifiers can be grouped into
- linear classifiers
- non-linear classifiers
- Linear classifiers include perceptron algorithm and least square methods that are easier to compute but sometimes are insufficient for non-linearly separable problems
- Non-linear classifiers are required for more complex problems
