Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, the student will know the basic structure of pattern recognition systems and the statistical bases of the classification theory (the Bayes classifier). He will distinguish supervised learning methods from the unsupervised ones. He will be able to apply supervised learning methods (model-based maximum likelihood, k-nearest neighbours) to the classifier design. The student will be able to apply k-means clustering algorithm.

Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
In order to pass the course the student has to pass the exam and make at least 30% of the exercises. There will be bonus from extra exercises. To pass the exam at least half of the maximum points of the exam has to be reached. Lecture notes and exercises are enough for agood grade in exam.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
