EN2200 Pattern Recognition 6.0 credits

Administer About course

How can you make a computer understand your voice? How can you make a computer understand your handwriting? How do you detect signal patterns that are hidden in noise? How can a computer distinguish between ECG recordings from healthy and sick hearts? The course in Pattern Recognition gives you the theory to answer this kind of questions. In the course project, you create your own MatLab toolbox for pattern recognition.

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course is about the theoretical foundation of pattern recognition and gives an introduction to technical applications, especially in speech recognition and image or sound classification.

Intended learning outcomes

The participants shall after the course

* be able to design systems and algorithms for pattern recognition (signal classification), with focus on sequences of patterns that are analyzed using e.g. Hidden Markov Models (HMM),

* be able to analyse classification problems probabilistically and estimate classifier performance,

* understand and analyse methods for automatic training of classification systems-
