	Pattern recognition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A complete pattern recognition system consists of a sensor that gathers the observations to be classified or described; a feature extraction mechanism that computes numeric or symbolic information from the observations; and a classification or description scheme that does the actual job of classifying or describing observations, relying on the extracted features.
		Statistical pattern recognition is based on statistical characterisations of patterns, assuming that the patterns are generated by a probabilistic system.
		Pattern recognition is studied in many fields, including psychology, ethology, and computer science.

	Pattern Recognition (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pattern Recognition is William Gibson's eighth novel, published in 2003.
		As is characteristic with Gibson novels, Pattern Recognition is replete with neologisms.
		Some of the most memorable are gender-bait, a male posing as a female online to elicit positive responses; and cool-hunter, which Gibson picked up from the marketing industry, where it had been in use for some years.

	Subzero Blue Store :: William Gibson - Pattern Recognition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first of William Gibson's usually futuristic novels to be set in the present, Pattern Recognition is a masterful snapshot of modern consumer culture and hipster esoterica.
		With Pattern Recognition, Gibson skips the extrapolation and focuses his acumen on our confusing contemporary world, using the precocious Pollard to personify and humanize the uncertain anxiety, optimistic hope, and downright fear many feel when looking to the future.
		At its page-turning best, "Pattern Recognition" is a tightly spun mystery with a sympathetic (if wholly improbable) lead character and some admirably sharp, cynical descriptions of the transnational global culture.

	Pattern Recognition
		A biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system which makes a personal identification by determining the authenticity of a specific physiological or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user."
		The recognition and understanding of sensory data like speech or images, which are major concerns in pattern recognition, have always been considered as important subfields of artificial intelligence.
		Methods are developed to sense objects, to discover which of their features distinguish them from others, and to design algorithms which can be used by a machine to do the classification.

		In Pattern Recognition (Putnam, $26), he goes acoustic, unplugging the overt sci-fi tropes that have marked his work and producing a mainstream product.
		But Pattern Recognition's essential quality is the sensual pleasure of its language.
		Pattern recognition itself can morph into the disorder apophenia, "the spontaneous perception of connections and meaningfulness in unrelated things." Which means that even when Pollard discovers The Footage's maker, it's an ambiguous - and potentially apophenic - resolution.

	Correlation Pattern Recognition - Cambridge University Press
		Correlation is a robust and general technique for pattern recognition and is used in many applications, such as automatic target recognition, biometric recognition and optical character recognition.
		The design, analysis and use of correlation pattern recognition algorithms requires background information, including linear systems theory, random variables and processes, matrix/vector methods, detection and estimation theory, digital signal processing and optical processing.
		Suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate students taking courses in pattern recognition theory, whilst reaching technical levels of interest to the professional practitioner.

	Pynchon: Review of Gibson's "Pattern Recognition"
		If his elegant, entrancing seventh novel offers an answer to his detractors, it could be roughly translated as: so sue me. ''Pattern Recognition'' is almost nose-thumbingly conventional in design.
		Her effortless hyperintelligence ought to put to rest any complaints that science fiction's computer cowboys are members of an all-boys' club.
		''Pattern Recognition'' considers these issues with appealing care and, given that this best-selling author is his own kind of franchise, surprising modesty.

		In Pattern Recognition William Gibson concerns himself with the patterns of reality that determine the fates of individuals and nations.
		His main character, Cayce Pollard, offers the slight hope that individuals can discern those grand patterns and even influence them, for she is the agent of Gibson's premise that such patterns can be apprehended.
		In spite of a great premise and some good characters, "Pattern Recognition" fail in the end, when Gibson is unable to sustain the mystery and give us a decent payoff.
