Pattern Recognition

Informationen zum Autor Konstantinos Koutroumbas acquired a degree from the University of Patras, Greece in Computer Engineering and Informatics in 1989, a MSc in Computer Science from the University of London, UK in 1990, and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Athens in 1995. Since 2001 he has been with the Institute for Space Applications and Remote Sensing of the National Observatory of Athens. Sergios Theodoridis is professor emeritus of machine learning and data processing with the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece. He has also served as distinguished professor with the Aalborg University Denmark and as professor with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, China. In 2023, he received an honorary doctorate degree (D.Sc) from the University of Edinburgh, U.K. He has also received a number of prestigious awards, including the 2014 IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Best Paper Award, the 2009 IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Transactions on Neural Networks Outstanding Paper Award, the 2017 European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) Athanasios Papoulis Award, the 2014 IEEE Signal Processing Society Carl Friedrich Gauss Education Award, and the 2014 EURASIP Meritorious Service Award. He has served as president of EURASIP and vice president for the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He is a Fellow of EURASIP and a Life Fellow of IEEE. He is the coauthor of the book Pattern Recognition, 4th edition, Academic Press, 2009 and of the book Introduction to Pattern Recognition: A MATLAB Approach, Academic Press, 2010. Klappentext This book considers classical and current theory and practice! of both supervised and unsupervised pattern recognition! to build a complete background for professionals and students of engineering. The authors! leading experts in the field of pattern recognition! have provided an up-to-date! self-contained volume encapsulating this wide spectrum of information. The very latest methods are incorporated in this edition: semi-supervised learning! combining clustering algorithms! and relevance feedback. This edition includes many more worked examples and diagrams (in two colour) to help give greater understanding of the methods and their application. Computer-based problems will be included with MATLAB code. An accompanying book contains extra worked examples and MATLAB code of all the examples used in this book.

Report

"This book is an excellent reference for pattern recognition, machine learning, and data mining. It focuses on the problems of classification and clustering, the two most important general problems in these areas. This book has tremendous breadth and depth in its coverage of these topics; it is clearly the best book available on the topic today. The new edition is an excellent up-to-date revision of the book. I have especially enjoyed the new coverage provided in several topics, including new viewpoints on Support Vector Machines, and the complete in-depth coverage of new clustering methods. This is a standout characteristic of this book: the coverage of the topics is solid, deep, and principled throughout. The book is very successful in bringing out the important points in each technique, while containing lots of interesting examples to explain complicated concepts. I believe the section on dimensionality reduction is an excellent exposition on this topic, among the best available, and this is just one example. Combined with a coverage unique in its extend, this makes the book appropriate for use as a reference, as a textbook for upper level undergraduate or graduate classes, and for the practitioner that wants to apply these techniques in practice. I am a professor in Computer Science. Although pattern recognition is not my main focus, I work in the related fields of data mining and databases. I have used this book for my own research and, very successfully, as teaching material. I would strongly recommend this book to both the academic student and the professional." --Dimitrios Gunopoulos, University of California, Riverside, USA

"I cut my pattern recognition teeth on a draft version of Duda and Hart (1973). Over subsequent decades, I consistently did two things: (i) recommended Duda and Hart as the best book available on pattern recognition; and (ii) wanted to write the next best book on this topic.nbsp; I stopped (i) when the first edition ofnbsp;S. Theodoridis andnbsp;K. Koutroumbas'nbsp;book appeared, and it supplanted the need for (ii) It was, and is, the best book that has been written on the subject since Duda and Hart's seminal original text. Buy it - you'll be happy you did." --Jim Bezdek, University of West Florida and Senior Fellow, U. of Melbourne (Australia)

"I consider the fourth edition of the book Pattern Recognition, by S. Theodoridis and K. Koutroumbas as the Bible of Pattern Recognition." --Simon Haykin, McMaster University, Canada

"I have taught a graduate course on statistical pattern recognition for more than twenty five years during which I have used many books with different levels of satisfaction. Recently, I adopted the book by Theodoridis and Koutroumbas (4th edition) for my graduate course on statistical pattern recognition at University of Maryland. This course is taken by students from electrical engineering, computer science, linguistics and applied mathematics. The comprehensive book by Thedoridis and Koutroumbas covers both traditional and modern topics in statistical pattern recognition in a lucid manner, without compromising rigor. This book elegantly addresses the needs of graduate students from the different disciplines mentioned above. This is the only book that does justice to both supervised and unsupervised (clustering) techniques. Every student, researcher and instructor who is interested in any and all aspects of statistical pattern recognition will find this book extremely satisfying. I recommend it very highly." --Rama Chellappa, University of Maryland
