Introduction to Pattern Recognition What was that….?
Recognition Or Classification • Recognition • Etymologically, the act of thinking again • Involves “identifying” or “acknowledging” • Classification • Etymologically, the act of separating into groups • Involves “sorting” according to what a thing is called or “associating” to a group Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Recognition Rigel (900 ly) Betelgeuse (300 ly) Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Input source Sensing Segmentation Feature Extraction Recognition The Classification Process System Response Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Sensing • Depends on the application domain • Consistency can vary widely within and across domains • Must result in a basis for measuring discriminatory features—distinguishing characteristics must be “observable” Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Segmentation: Extremely Challenging • A required preprocessing step • Examples: • What is the basis for separating components of an image? Color, proximity, boundary contours, “texture” • Where are the boundaries between handwritten letters or words? • When does a spoken word start/stop? Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Feature Extraction • What features are salient for the classification? • Are the features robust? • Do they vary with parameters such as time, frequency, scale, translation, rotation, or proximity? • Do subsets of the features provide classification efficacy? Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Classification • What are the classifier design objectives? • Minimize classification error(s) • Type 1 (reject a true Ho) • Type 2 (fail to reject a false Ho) • Generalization • Reduced computational complexity • Reduced algorithmic complexity • Noise Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
System Response • So what? Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Machine Learning: Creating a Classifier Adaptively • Supervised learning • Feedforward network and backpropagation • Hopfield • Unsupervised learning • ART • Kohonen Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Some Sample Problems • Intrusion detection in network traffic • Handwritten character/word recognition • Speech recognition • Sonar acoustic transient recognition • Face recognition • Fingerprint classification Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Key Questions • What are the examples? (data) • What characteristics distinguish the class exemplars? (features) • How will discriminatory evidence be combined to make a decision? (classifier) • How well does it work? (assessment) Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
Classifier Construction • Data collection or generation • Data may not be abundant or available • Identify features • Determines preprocessing requirements • Choose a classifier to implement • Model may prescribe the classifier • Model may require adaptive construction (training) • Performance Assessment Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
No Free Lunch Theorem • Loosely stated, “There is no classifier model that will be optimal for all classification problems.” Copyright, G. A. Tagliarini, PhD
