XP33ROD -- Rozpoznávání pro doktorandy (Pattern Recognition)

Introduction, subject goals, eligibility

The subject introduces pattern recognition (called also machine learning).

It is expected that student did not study this subject before, e.g. in the bachelor subject Rozpoznávání a strojové učení, A4M33RPZ lectured by Prof. Jiří Matas. The lecturer will ensure that a similar subject is not taken for the second time to get credits easily.

The subject comprises of lectures and consultations with the lecturer (if the student asks for it).

Expected preliminary knowledge

It is required that the student passed an introductory course of the probability theory and statistics or studied this area individually.

===== Individual work =====

The student has to write a text in the form of a paper (research report). Ideally this text is part of student's research and relates to the subject. The aim of writing the paper is to teach help her/him improving the skill of paper writting and outlining the domain for the oral examination. It is preferred if this paper is typeset in LaTeX. The student is welcome to consult this paper with the lecturer during the semester.
