Human Perception
I
Humans have developed highly sophisticated skills for
sensing their environment and taking actions according to
what they observe, e.g.,
I
I
I
I
I
recognizing a face,
understanding spoken words,
reading handwriting,
distinguishing fresh food from its smell.
We would like to give similar capabilities to machines.

What is Pattern Recognition?
I
A pattern is an entity, vaguely defined, that could be given a
name, e.g.,
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
fingerprint image,
handwritten word,
human face,
speech signal,
DNA sequence,
...
Pattern recognition is the study of how machines can
I
I
I
observe the environment,
learn to distinguish patterns of interest,
make sound and reasonable decisions about the categories
of the patterns.

Human and Machine Perception
I
We are often influenced by the knowledge of how patterns
are modeled and recognized in nature when we develop
pattern recognition algorithms.
I
Research on machine perception also helps us gain deeper
understanding and appreciation for pattern recognition
systems in nature.
I
Yet, we also apply many techniques that are purely
numerical and do not have any correspondence in natural
systems.

An Example
I
Problem: Sorting incoming
fish on a conveyor belt
according to species.
I
Assume that we have only
two kinds of fish:
I
I
sea bass,
salmon.
Figure 11: Picture taken from a
camera.
CS 551, Spring 2010

An Example: Decision Process
I
What kind of information can distinguish one species from
the other?
I
I
What can cause problems during sensing?
I
I
length, width, weight, number and shape of fins, tail shape,
etc.
lighting conditions, position of fish on the conveyor belt,
camera noise, etc.
What are the steps in the process?
I
capture image → isolate fish → take measurements → make
decision

An Example: Selecting Features
I
Assume a fisherman told us that a sea bass is generally
longer than a salmon.
I
We can use length as a feature and decide between sea
bass and salmon according to a threshold on length.
I
How can we choose this threshold?
CS 551, Spring 2010
c
2009,
18 / 39
Figure 12: Histograms of the length feature for two types of fish in training
samples. How can we choose the threshold l∗ to make a reliable decision?
CS 551, Spring 2010
c
2009,
19 / 39
I
Even though sea bass is longer than salmon on the
average, there are many examples of fish where this
observation does not hold.
I
Try another feature: average lightness of the fish scales.
CS 551, Spring 2010
c
2009,
20 / 39
Figure 13: Histograms of the lightness feature for two types of fish in training
samples. It looks easier to choose the threshold x∗ but we still cannot make a
perfect decision.
CS 551, Spring 2010
c
2009,
21 / 39
An Example: Cost of Error
I
We should also consider costs of different errors we make
in our decisions.
I
For example, if the fish packing company knows that:
I
I
I
Customers who buy salmon will object vigorously if they see
sea bass in their cans.
Customers who buy sea bass will not be unhappy if they
occasionally see some expensive salmon in their cans.
How does this knowledge affect our decision?
CS 551, Spring 2010
c
2009,
22 / 39
An Example: Multiple Features
I
Assume we also observed that sea bass are typically wider
than salmon.
I
We can use two features in our decision:
I
I
I
lightness: x1
width: x2
Each fish image is now represented as a point (feature
vector )
!
x1
x=
x2
in a two-dimensional feature space.
CS 551, Spring 2010
c
2009,
23 / 39
Figure 14: Scatter plot of lightness and width features for training samples.
We can draw a decision boundary to divide the feature space into two
regions. Does it look better than using only lightness?
CS 551, Spring 2010
c
2009,
24 / 39
I
Does adding more features always improve the results?
I
I
I
I
I
Avoid unreliable features.
Be careful about correlations with existing features.
Be careful about measurement costs.
Be careful about noise in the measurements.
Is there some curse for working in very high dimensions?
CS 551, Spring 2010
c
2009,
25 / 39
An Example: Decision Boundaries
I
Can we do better with another decision rule?
I
More complex models result in more complex boundaries.
Figure 15: We may distinguish training samples perfectly but how can
we predict how well we can generalize to unknown samples?
CS 551, Spring 2010

An Example: Decision Boundaries
I
How can we manage the tradeoff between complexity of
decision rules and their performance to unknown samples?

teacher provides feedback to the system such as the
decision is right or wrong.
