BVISS: Pattern Recognition without Features or Training

Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, Bristol

Professor Fred Stentiford - UCL Pattern recognition is usually implemented through the use of a selected set of plausible features that characterise the data being studied. In addition it is also necessary to identify a set of data that represents the problem area and is used to train and adjust parameters to maximise recognition performance. […]

BVISS: Learning to synthesize signals and images
