Talk:Pattern recognition

message: I really like the first three paragraphs of the overview section. I'd like to remove the rest though, because it is only partially related. Less is more. Or we need more high-quality paragraphs here. I'll let this comment sink in for a while, I've done enough edits today (and tried to justify each one), let's see how many will be undone.

message: Should this include unsupervised methods, too?  E.g., clustering has major applications for pattern 
recognition.  -- 16:55, 25 Mar 2005 (MET)
I disagree --- that material is already covered in unsupervised learning. Both supervised and unsupervised learning are covered in a high-level way at machine learning. -- hike395 17:37, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Unsupervised learning

message: Hi,
I recently added some new information regarding the comparison of various classification techniques with a reference to a peer-reviewed article (van der Walt and Barnard). There seems to be some controversy on this subject, the link has been removed several times. I am currently doing my PhD on this topic and I know the information is very relevant. 
Is the reference and the external link http://www.patternrecognition.co.za suitable for this site? If not, what can I do so that this information is not repeatedly removed? -cvdwalt
As a scholar, you should know that you may give references to strengthen your claims that are detailed in your article, and not add unexpected references without any prior presentation. Your self-promotion is then, in my opinion, irrelevant both in this article and in Wikipedia. --131.254.15.97 (talk) 14:33, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Numerology (for example) links here and yet this article is entirely about pattern recognition as performed by machines. Surely humans recognize patterns too. Recury 21:00, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Human pattern recognition?

message: "Hidden messages" sidebar is out of main topic of "Pattern recognition". I see no need to have in such a dominant place links to themes like Reverse speech or Numerology. I suggest removing sidebar "Hidden messages". Msm 10:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No one was against my suggestion in a week time, so I remove hidden messages because of reasons written above. Msm 22:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I also object to it so I posted a message on its talk page since it's back again. Let's form a consensus so we don't add/delete it repeatedly.--Adoniscik (talk) 06:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone links to Rule of three (writing) in the See Also section. I see no relevance so I'll remove it. Could someone give justification here before putting it back in. --Offput 15:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rule of three 

message: Huge contradiction in the introduction of the article: techniques of a sub-domain of automatic learning cannot rely on a priori knowledge! Do you know what you speak of or just quote on scholars?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.108.145.250 (talk) 10:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: I just rewrote the article almost totally (except for a couple of sections at the end), to reflect what I believe "pattern recognition" to actually be.  The former article basically just described the process of classification, with a bit of other stuff thrown in.  As used in books such as Christopher Bishop "Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning" (more or less the "bible" nowadays), pattern recognition clearly refers to any sort of automatic labeling of input data: Not just classifying data into one of a fixed set of classes, but clustering the data (including learning the number of clusters from the data), regression (producing a real-valued label), sequence labeling such as using an HMM or Kalman filter, etc.  Bishop does not explicitly discuss syntactic parsing, but this would clearly also qualify as a type of pattern recognition.

message: I think it should be created the category ":Category:Pattern recognition" to put there all types of pattern recognition, like in the Spanish edition of Wikipedia (":es:Categoría:Reconocimiento de patrones"). What do you think?--Aliuken (talk) 19:51, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Category:Pattern recognition 

message: The student in me was pleased to find the formal problem statement for the supervised case (although I must now learn it!).  Can anyone add or cite a formal problem statement for the unsupervised case?  I also added the link to Deep Learning which seems to fit well under unsupervised categorisation - trust I've not stepped on anyone's toes.  P.r.newman (talk) 20:10, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problem statement for unsupervised learning 

message: This article's title has been disambiguated in order to prevent it from being confused with Pattern recognition (psychology). A part of this article's lead section conflates these two meanings of "pattern recognition". I hope the article's new title will help to prevent the misunderstandings that led to this article's factual inaccuracy. Jarble (talk)
:I have reverted. Please use WP:RM since I suspect it is not uncontroversial and your move resulted in a WP:MALPLACED mess which broke hundreds of inbound links and several high traffic redirects. —Xezbeth (talk) 10:22, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the other guy. When people search for pattern recognition, they likely want psycholody, not machine learning. So it makes no sense for this to be the "main" article. --2804:D4B:79C1:9800:C00D:5C59:3A0E:2BE1 (talk)  — Preceding undated comment added 04:14, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: This article has been renamed [[Pattern recognition (machine learning)]]

message: Why is Pattern Recognition labelled as machine learning? That's similar to saying that Neural Networks are machine learning. ANN are usually generated through ML, PR models are often generated though ML, but they're both not ML...
The reference in the very first paragraph points to a PDF entitled "Pattern Recognition *and* Machine Learning".
PR may go hand in hand with ML, just like ANNs do too. They're not ML by themselves, though.
.. no?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.219.220.41 (talk) 00:42, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see where it is labelled as being machine learning.   But I do that that the de facto topic of this article is that it is machine-learning-related pattern recognition and I think that it a pretty good scope. I wrote "related" because depending on how you look at it, either one could be considered a subset of the other. Maybe this article needs clarification or re-titling regarding this.  But there is a disambig page for pattern recognition in general and such is noted at the beginning of this article.  Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 19:10, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
