Subject description
Prerequisits:
- Enrolment in the corresponding year of the study programme.
Content (Syllabus outline):
- Introduction: definitions, pattern representations, pattern recognition by classification and analysis, applications of pattern recognition in economy, traffics, medicine, robotics, banking, forensics, man-machine communication, etc.
- Pattern pre-processing: restoration, enhancement, normalization.
- Pattern segmentation: basic idea,
- image segmentation, and
- auditory signals segmentation.
- Features: generation of features by heuristic and mathematical methods.
- Analysis of learning sets: pattern similarity measures, pattern clustering test, crisp and fuzzy clustering, clustering techniques, deep learning of generative models.
- Pattern classification: classification of feature vectors by matching, decision, inference, and artificial neural networks; classification of sequences by dynamic programming and Hidden Markov Models; classification by graph matching; classification of statistically dependent samples.
- Combining and fusing classifiers.
Objectives and competences:
To acquaint students the advanced mathematical and computational approaches to pattern recognition by classification and analysis.
Intended learning outcomes:
After completion of the course the student will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
- developing systems based on recognition of external signals,
- modelling rational capabilities of human beings (e.g. perception and cognition of the environment, learning),
- state-of-the-art methods for pattern segmentation, feature extraction, clustering and classification.
During the course the student will gain and improve transferable skills such as:
- use of information technology: the use of development tools (OpenCV,WEKA), programming environments (Matlab, GCC, Netbeans), programming languages (C++,Java);
- problem solving: problem analysis, algorithm design, implementation and testing of a program; and
- group work: the organisation and management of groups, active participation in groups.
Learning and teaching methods:
- lectures,
- seminar projects.
