Applications of Pattern Recognition
This page can be used to discuss the applications of pattern recognition in our daily research! This would provide us an intuitive understanding of course topics. Please discuss "applied" pattern recognition here. Instead of just mentioning the field, please explain in detail how a specific tool of pattern recognition can be used in research.
