Objectives of the Course Gain an understanding of pattern recognition methods
Learn the techniques used for developing pattern recognition models
Develop skills for practical aspects of deep learning
Apply the concepts learned to a real problem
Course Content This course provides an introduction to pattern recognition. It covers Bayesian and frequentist statistics, Bayesian learning methods, decision theory, generalized linear models and the exponential family, and regression models. Mathematical principles will be explained to provide a solid foundation for pattern recognition. Methods will be implemented by a software and applied on various pattern recognition problems.
Course Methods and Techniques This course covers basic methods used in pattern recognition, such as Bayesian learning, generalized linear models, and decision theory.

Statistical approaches such as exponential families and regression models are used in the classification and modeling of patterns.

Students gain practical skills by testing these techniques on practical examples through programming.
