Spring 2006

 

last updated: 2006/03/29

1. Goal of Course

Pattern recognition can be broadly defined as a process to generate a meaningful description of data and deeper understanding of a problem through manipulation of a larger set of primitive raw data. More specifically we will be answering question: “What is this?
