NOTE:
This class will be taught in English
TIME: Tuesday, 12:00 - 14:30
START: Tuesday, March 8, 2005
PLACE: HS 12
GOALS:
The
lecture gives an overview of standard methods in the field of pattern
recognition, pattern classification, and statistical data modelling.
It covers some of the most basic concepts and methods in this field,
and demonstrates the application of these methods in a variety of
complex tasks, mainly from the area of intelligent music processing and
music information retrieval (which is the institute's special research
focus)
The lecture is accompanied with a practical track where the
students
carry out a pattern classification project of real-world complexity in
several stages, from feature definition and extraction to the training
of various classifiers and systematic experimentation.
After attending the
class, the students should have a basic understanding of the central
issues in pattern classification, should be able to read the scientific
literature on learning and pattern classification, and should have
acquired the basic skills needed to
realise and evaluate pattern classification systems.
CONTENTS:
Basic
notions and methods of pattern classification and statistical data
modelling, including
