On completion of this subject, students will be expected to:
 Explain and compare a variety of pattern classification, structural pattern recognition,
and pattern classifier combination techniques.
 Apply performance evaluation methods for pattern recognition, and critique
comparisons of techniques made in the research literature.
 Apply pattern recognition techniques to real-world problems such as document
analysis and recognition.
 Implement simple pattern classifiers, classifier combinations, and structural pattern
recognizers.
