This course (EE-612) presents fundamental tools used in statistical pattern recognition ranging from the most basic to more advanced (e.g. Logistic Regression, Principal Component Analysis, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Multi-Layer Perceptrons, Gaussian Mixture Models, Hidden Markov Models and Super Vector Machines). This course can serve as a pre-requisite for more advanced course on Machine Learning.
Outcomes: this course provides in-depth understanding in Statistical Pattern Recognition as well as concrete tools to PhD students for their work. This course could serve as a pre-requisite for more advanced courses such as Machine Learning, Graphical Models, Statistical Sequence Processing and Computational perception using multimodal sensors.
Keywords: Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning, Linear models, PCA, LDA, MLP, SVM, GMM, HMM.
Program:
- Lectures: 8 lectures
