Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- An understanding of pattern recognition and machine learning and will learn how to apply these methods to the processing of a broad class of signals;
- 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.
