Iisc Lecture Notes Series: Introduction To Pattern Recognition And Machine Learning (ePub)

This book adopts a detailed and methodological algorithmic approach to explain the concepts of pattern recognition. While the text provides a systematic account of its major topics such as pattern representation and nearest neighbour based classifiers, current topics — neural networks, support vector machines and decision trees — attributed to the recent vast progress in this field are also dealt with. Introduction to Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning will equip readers, especially senior computer science undergraduates, with a deeper understanding of the subject matter.This book adopts a detailed and methodological algorithmic approach to explain the concepts of pattern recognition.
