Study Notes
Introduction to Pattern Recognition
- Pattern recognition is the process of analyzing signals, whether one-dimensional or two-dimensional, and using that information to identify a specific pattern.
- The study of pattern recognition originated from early attempts to understand human intelligence.
Intelligence and Experience
- Intelligence can be defined as the ability to comprehend, understand, and benefit from experience.
- Our capacity to learn from experience helps us recognize patterns and make informed decisions. For example, recognizing a sharp object will prevent us from touching it.
- The concept of intelligence involves gaining and applying knowledge, enabling us to recognize and categorize objects based on prior experiences.
Abstract Ideas and A Priori Knowledge
- Plato theorized that our understanding of abstract ideas comes from a mystical connection to the world, referred to as a priori knowledge.
- A priori knowledge is pre-existing and is accessed through a mysterious connection with the world.
- This concept explains how we recognize objects, pictures, and patterns. For example, our recognition of a painting from the AL-Karnak Temple relies on prior knowledge gained from history books and experiences.
- It also explains how we recognize the Tahrir Complex, even if we have not seen it in person.
Storing Abstractions
- The process of storing and retrieving this a priori knowledge is still a mystery.
- Our brains store these abstract ideas and prior knowledge in a mysterious way, allowing us to recognize objects and patterns.
- This is why it's hard to articulate exactly how we recognize something like a painting in the AL-Karnak Temple.
