Pattern Recognition And Artificial Intelligence

This is the first textbook on pattern recognition to present the Bayesian viewpoint. The book presents approximate inference algorithms that permit fast approximate answers in situations where exact answers are not feasible. It uses graphical models to describe probability distributions when no other books apply graphical models to machine learning. No previous knowledge of pattern recognition or machine learning concepts is assumed. Familiarity with multivariate calculus and basic linear algebra is required, and some experience in the use of probabilities would be helpful though not essential as the book includes a self-contained introduction to basic probability theory.

This book pays extra attention to the new ideas in AI: neural networking, case based reasoning, and memory based reasoning, while including the important aspects of traditional symbol processing AI. As much as possible, these methods are compared with each other so that the reader will see the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Second, the new and traditional methods are presented as different ways of doing pattern recognition, giving unity to the subject matter. Third, rather than treating AI as just a collection of advanced algorithms, it also looks at the problems involved in producing the kind of general purpose intelligence found in human beings who have to deal with the real world.

This book includes reviewed papers by international scholars from the 2020 International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (held online). The papers have been expanded to provide more details specifically for the book. It is geared to promote ongoing interest and understanding about pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. Like the previous book in the series, this book covers a range of topics and illustrates potential areas where pattern recognition and artificial intelligence can be applied. It highlights, for example, how pattern recognition and artificial intelligence can be used to classify, predict, detect and help promote further discoveries related to credit scores, criminal news, national elections, license plates, gender, personality characteristics, health, and more.Chapters include works centred on medical and financial applications as well as topics related to handwriting analysis and text processing, internet security, image analysis, database creation, neural networks and deep learning. While the book is geared to promote interest from the general public, it may also be of interest to graduate students and researchers in the field.

This book contains the Proceedings of the US-Japan Seminar on Learning Process in Control Systems. The seminar, held in Nagoya, Japan, from August 18 to 20, 1970, was sponsored by the US-Japan Cooperative Science Program, jointly supported by the National Science Foundation and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. The full texts of all the presented papers except two t are included. The papers cover a great variety of topics related to learning processes and systems, ranging from pattern recognition to systems identification, from learning control to biological modelling. In order to reflect the actual content of the book, the present title was selected. All the twenty-eight papers are roughly divided into two parts--Pattern Recognition and System Identification and Learning Process and Learning Control. It is sometimes quite obvious that some papers can be classified into either part. The choice in these cases was strictly the editor's in order to keep a certain balance between the two parts. During the past decade there has been a considerable growth of interest in problems of pattern recognition and machine learn ing. In designing an optimal pattern recognition or control system, if all the a priori information about the process under study is known and can be described deterministically, the optimal system is usually designed by deterministic optimization techniques.

This book is to chart the progress in applying machine learning, including deep learning, to a broad range of image analysis and pattern recognition problems and applications. In this book, we have assembled original research articles making unique contributions to the theory, methodology and applications of machine learning in image analysis and pattern recognition.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence, PReMI 2017,held in Kolkata, India, in December 2017. The total of 86 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 293 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: pattern recognition and machine learning; signal and image processing; computer vision and video processing; soft and natural computing; speech and natural language processing; bioinformatics and computational biology; data mining and big data analytics; deep learning; spatial data science and engineering; and applications of pattern recognition and machine intelligence.
