Machine Learning

• Machine learning is establishing as a very interesting


scientific area thanks to the availability of more and more
powerful computers and of algorithms allowing its
application to the most diverse sectors, including key sectors
for economic and societal development.
• This course presents the main machine learning
methodologies aimed to “pattern recognition”, in particular
for the classification of structurally represented data.
• Examples will be presented and applications will be
discussed related to signal and image classification (e.g.
remote sensing images).
3
Teaching Objectives

• Students will learn to represent the features (measures,


attributes, characteristics) of a set of samples to be classified by
a multidimensional vector space
• They will be able:
– to reduce the dimensionality of such a representation limiting the
information loss
– to estimate the probabilistic distributions of data
– to classify samples with classical techniques and with more
recent ones (SVMs, classifier ensembles, deep learning)
– to evaluate or estimate the accuracy of a supervised classifier
– to extract the natural classes (clusters) present in a data set
– to represent uncertainty in clusters with the “fuzzy” approach
– to validate clustering results.

Syllabus

• In this course several Machine learning methods applied to


pattern recognition are presented and their application to
images from real domains are discussed:

– Decision Theory
– Supervised Probability Density Estimation
– Dimensionality Reduction of the Feature Space
– Neural Networks and Deep Learning
– Other Linear and Nonlinear Classifiers
– Accuracy of Supervised Classifiers
– Unsupervised Classifiers (Clustering)
– Fuzzy Sets and Clustering
