  pattern recognition
       
           A branch of
          artificial intelligence concerned with the classification or
          description of observations.
       
          Pattern recognition aims to classify data (patterns) based
          on either a priori knowledge or on statistical information
          extracted from the patterns.  The patterns to be classified
          are usually groups of measurements or observations, defining
          points in an appropriate multidimensional space.
       
          A complete pattern recognition system consists of a sensor
          that gathers the observations to be classified or described; a
          feature extraction mechanism that computes numeric or
          symbolic information from the observations; and a
          classification or description scheme that does the actual job
          of classifying or describing observations, relying on the
          extracted features.
       
          The classification or description scheme is usually based on
          the availability of a set of patterns that have already been
          classified or described.  This set of patterns is termed the
          training set and the resulting learning strategy is
          characterised as supervised.  Learning can also be
          unsupervised, in the sense that the system is not given an a
          priori labelling of patterns, instead it establishes the
          classes itself based on the statistical regularities of the
          patterns.
       
          The classification or description scheme usually uses one of
          the following approaches: statistical (or decision
          theoretic), syntactic (or structural), or neural.
          Statistical pattern recognition is based on statistical
          characterisations of patterns, assuming that the patterns are
          generated by a probabilistic system.  Structural pattern
          recognition is based on the structural interrelationships of
          features.  Neural pattern recognition employs the neural
          computing paradigm that has emerged with neural networks.
