How to pass this course?
– You will learn a lot during this course, but you
will have to work hard to pass it!
– Don’t accumulate …
– Do it yourself …
– Ask for help …

Slide - 8
Warning:
– Working policy: You are encouraged to collaborate
in study groups. But submitting a copy or slightly
changed others’ solutions or codes is Cheating.
– Cheating will be punished severely
• Assignments: All get 0
• Midterm or Final: you will get Fail

Slide - 14
What is a Pattern?
• A pattern is a set of instances which share
some regularities, and are similar to each
other in the set.
• A pattern should occur repeatedly.
• A pattern is observable, sometimes partially,
by some sensors with noise and distortions.

What is Pattern Recognition?
• Definition: “The act of taking in raw data
and taking an action based on the category
of the pattern found in the data.”

Robot Manny is developed
at Battelle's Pacific
Northwest Laboratories in
Richand, Washington. It
took 12 researchers 3
years (1986-1989) and $2
million to develop this
robot. Manny was built
for the U.S. Army in the
late 1980s to test protective
clothing.

Machine Learning
• Learning Process:
–Learner (a computer program; an agent) processes data D
representing past experiences and tries to either develop an
appropriate response to future data, or describe the seen
data in some meaningful way.
• Example:
– Learner sees a set of patient records with corresponding
diagnoses. It can either try to :
– predict the presence of a disease for future patients.
– describe the dependencies between diseases, symptoms.

Slide - 26
Types of Machine Learning
• Supervised learning
– Learning mapping between input x and desired output y
– Teacher presents some samples of pairs (x, y)
• Unsupervised learning
– Learning relations between data components
– No teacher signal.
• Reinforcement learning
– Learning mapping between input x and desired output y
– Teacher gives a Critic signal (reinforcement) of
how good the response was.

Slide - 27
Supervised Learning
• Data: A set of n examples
𝑿 = {𝒙 𝟏, 𝒙 𝟐, …, 𝒙 𝒏} & 𝑻 = {𝒕 𝟏, 𝒕 𝟐, …, 𝒕 𝒏}
x is input vector, and t is desired output (given by a teacher).
• Objective: Learn the mapping 𝑭: 𝑿 → 𝒀
That is to find: 𝒚𝒊 ≈ 𝒇(𝒙𝒊) for all 𝒊 = 𝟏, … , 𝒏
• Two types of problems:
Regression: X discrete or continuous Y is continuous
Classification: X discrete or continuous Y is discrete

Slide - 28
Supervised Learning Examples
• Regression: Y continuous
Debt/equity
Earnings company stock price
Future product orders

Slide - 29
Supervised Learning Examples
• Classification: Y discrete
{ a, b, c, …, x, y, z}
X is a vector/sequence of values
{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }

Slide - 30
Unsupervised Learning
• Data: A set of n examples
𝑿 = {𝒙 𝟏, 𝒙 𝟐, …, 𝒙 𝒏}
desired output NOT GIVEN (no teacher).
• Objective:
– Learn the relation between data components
• Two types of problems:
Clustering: Group “similar” examples together
Density Estimation : Model probabilistically the samples

Slide - 31
Unsupervised Learning Examples
• Clustering: Group “similar” examples together

Slide - 32
Unsupervised Learning Examples
• Density Estimation: Find probability density p(x)
Model used : Mixture of Gaussians

Slide - 33
Reinforcement Learning
• We want to learn: 𝑭: 𝑿 → 𝒀
• We only see samples of x but not y
• Instead of getting y we get a feedback
(reinforcement) from a critic about how good our
output was.
• Example:
– Real time strategic (RTS) games.
