Course Description:

This course covers the fundamentals of Pattern Recognition techniques, both supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms. Machine intelligence algorithms to be presented include parametric and non-parametric pattern detection and classification, logistic discrimination, support vector machines, decision trees, feature extraction and selection, principal component analysis, independent component analysis, clustering, artificial neural networks, and others.

Outline:

1- Introduction

2- Bayesian decision theory

3- Maximum likelihood and Bayesian parameter estimation

4- Nonparametric techniques

5- Linear Discriminant Functions

6- Nonlinear Classifiers

7- Feature Selection

8- Algorithm-independent machine learning

9- Unsupervised Learning and Clustering
