Textbook Information
There is not a single book that covers all the things that will be discussed in ECE 662. The class will reference four books during the course of the semester as we cover various topics. All four of them are available through the reserves at the engineering library.
Definition and Examples of Pattern Recognition
Main article: What is Pattern Recognition_OldKiwi.
Pattern Recognition is the art of assigning classes or categories to data.
Decision Surfaces
Main Article: Decision Surfaces_OldKiwi
Decision surfaces are the boundaries in the feature space that distinguish classes.
Algebraic Geometry
Main Article: Decision Surfaces_OldKiwi (This is not a typo)
Varieties
Main Article: Varieties_OldKiwi
A Variety is a mathematical construct used to define a decision surface.
