Learning outcomes
Pattern Recognition is a highly pervasive discipline, both for science and industry. It focuses on the creation of classifiers, that is, algorithms able to learn aspects of the reality that surrounds us and to make appropriate decisions when in the presence of new stimuli. Speech recognition, automotive, surveillance systems, quality control systems, recommender systems, search engines, social networks, interactive tools (Kinect, Wii) are just some of the many applications that rely on the presence of classifiers. The Pattern Recognition course is intended to provide the methodological principles at the basis of the classification, together with the most modern techniques that can solve problems until a few years ago unmanageable. In other words, the course aims to be the best compromise between theory and practice, making the student can solve problems with tangible and important techniques from solid theoretical point of view.
Program
The course can be divided into two parts, the methodology and the application, which go hand in hand during the course.
