Intelligent Systems: Reasoning and Recognition - WMM42E5

  • Number of hours

    • Lectures 31.5

    ECTS

    ECTS 3.0

Goal(s)

This course brings together programming techniques symbolic reasoning and Bayesian Pattern Recognition. Techniques for symbolic reasoning are provided based on rule based programming and structured knowledge representations using schema. Programming of rules and schema are illustrated with exercises in the CLIPS Expert-System environment (developed by NASA). Techniques Bayesian pattern recognition include Linear and quadratic discrimination functions followed by feature space reduction techniques based on the Fisher discriminant function and principal Components analysis. An introduction to learning theory is provided using the EM algorithm to estimate Gaussian Mixture Models, as well as linear pattern detectors, boosted learning, kernel methods and support vector machines. All lectures are given in English.
