• Introduction to artificial intelligence, basic concepts

• Decision-making and recognition as an optimization problem

• Theory of feature recognition, "handcrafted" and "learned" features

• Intuitive classifiers with learning - NN classifier, k-NN classifier, linear classifier

• Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers, simple neural networks

• Bayesian approach to recognition

• Classification without learning - cluster analysis in the posterior of features, iterative and hierarchical methods

• Dimensionality reduction of the feature space, PCA, discriminant analysis

The files contain most of the slides used. This is not the complete lecture content; the knowledge recorded in the files is insufficient to pass the exam!

[A] Introduction to Object Recognition. It contains many useful references for deeper study.
