What is a Pattern?
“A pattern is the opposite of chaos; it is an
entity vaguely defined, that could be given
a name.”

A pattern is an abstract object, such as a


set of measurements describing a physical
object.

Why PR?
 PR is an integral part of Machine intelligence systems:
 Machine vision
 Character recognition (OCR)
 Computer aided diagnosis
 Speech recognition
 Face recognition
 Biometrics
 Image Data Base retrieval
 Data mining
 Bionformatics

 The task: Assign unknown objects – patterns – into the correct


class. This is known as classification.

10
Role of Machine Learning(ML)
 Principled way of building high performance
information processing systems
 ML vs PR
 ML has origins in Computer Science
 PR has origins in Engineering
 They are different facets of the same field
 Language Related Technologies
 IR, NLP, ASR
 Human perform them well
 Difficult to specify algorithm for these

11
What is ML?
 Programming computers to use example data or past
experience
 Well-Posed Learning Problems
– A computer program is said to learn from
experience E
– with respect to class of tasks T and performance
measure P,
– if its performance at tasks T, as measured by P,
improves with experience E

12
Features & Classifer
 Features: These are measurable quantities obtained from
the patterns, and the classification task is based on their
respective values.

Feature vectors: A number of features


x1 ,..., xl ,
constitute the feature vector
x  x1 ,..., xl   R l
T

Feature vectors are treated as random vectors.


The classifier consists of a set of functions, whose values,
computed at x , determine the class to which the
corresponding pattern belongs

Supervised – Unsupervised and Semi-supervised PR

The major directions


 Supervised: Patterns whose class is known a-priori
are used for training.
 Unsupervised/Clustering: The number of classes is
(in general) unknown and no training patterns of
known class labels are available.
 Semi-supervised: A set of patterns of unknown class
along with training patterns of known classes.
