    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
