Learning Outcomes
Students will acquire an understanding of pattern recognition and adaptive methods and will learn how to apply these methods to the processing of a broad class of signals.
By the end of the module the student will be able to: Recall a range of techniques and algorithms for pattern recognition and intelligent processing of signals and data, including neural networks and statistical methods. Derive and analyse properties of these methods. Discuss the relative merits of different techniques and approaches. Implement some of these techniques in software (e.g. Matlab). Apply these methods to the analysis of signals and data.
