Introduction

Beor else it's all fuzzy logic

It was the pre-crown period and I went to the movies. Before the beginning of the movie, the national anthem was played. Everyone voluntarily stood up with respect. I saw some of them singing out loud. A man (maybe from the Army) even saluted the flag displayed on the screen. A stranger who was perplexed, but nevertheless, he got up slowly watching the audience.

In the previous incident, I mentioned several actions (standing, singing and waving) of the audience that was unleashed by playing a familiar musical tune. Suppose the theater has 100 audiences and build an imaginary data table of actions.

Action
Tell
Standing
100
Singing
30
Saluting
1

If I replace Global Action with ‘behaviour Pattern’, or simply ‘Pattern’ you can see the most common pattern is standing and the rare pattern is waving. Abroad, although confused, followed the most common pattern. Notice that our world is full of patterns. Nature is full of patterns.

It is fun to imitate other people's gestures and speech, like celebrities. This simply means capturing patterns of behavior and language..

I don't trust WORDS, I even question the ACTIONS, but I don't doubt the PATTERNS

What is a pattern?

A pattern is a phenomenon that repeats regularly according to an established rule or condition.

In my blog post above, Did I mention that music is about melodious patterns. In this article, I will focus on patterns in general and their importance in human and machine learning.

Human learning and pattern recognition

Learning is the constant disruption of an old pattern, a breakthrough that replaces something old with something new.

Humans and animals learn with the help of their senses. Learning helps to identify and recognize the patterns around us. The pattern recognition process involves matching the information received with the information that is already stored in the brain.. Making the connection between memories and perceived information is a step in pattern recognition called identification..

Recognize patterns

Pattern recognition requires repetition of experiences. All discoveries and inventions to date are the result of the pattern recognition skills of humans.

Humans tend to see patterns everywhere. They are important when making comparisons, judgments and gain knowledge; we tend to be uncomfortable with chaos and chance, like the stranger who was perplexed in the movies.

Why patterns?

Finding patterns is the essence of wisdom.

Finding patterns is extremely important. Patterns simplify our task.

Let's take the simple example of the sum of numbers from the 1 al 10, What is it 55.

1 + 2 + 3 +… + 10 = 55

Now, the sum of 11 a 20 it is 10 × 10 + 55 = 155

And similarly, the sum of 21 a 30 it is 20 × 10 + 55 = 255.

We can get on with this Pattern to make a sum of 10 consecutive numbers. Mathematical formulas are nothing more than concise representations of patterns.

Types of patterns

Below is an example of a logical pattern.

Image patterns help classify information in images. Melodious musical patterns can be identified with musical sequences.

Design patterns

Architect Christopher Alexander first described pattern language Y design patterns.

A design pattern is a plan that provides a general solution to the similar types of problems that you will encounter over and over again in any field of activity.. Here is an example.

Iterating with the loop “for” of Python

Python's for loop abstracts the Iterator design pattern so thoroughly that most Python programmers are not even aware of the object design pattern running below the surface. The for loop performs a repeating assignment, running your indented block of code once for each element of the sequence you are iterating over.

some_primes = [2, 3, 5]
for prime in some_primes:
    print(prime) #output 2 3 4

Math and patterns

Mathematics is sometimes called the science of patterns. The most important concept in mathematics is a function. A function is an abstract representation of a pattern. Similarly, each field of activity has patterns.

Here, the function y = f (x) = 3x shown as number pattern above. The pattern shows values ​​of the sequence, but a function can output any value from the pattern sequence directly.

Data patterns in statistics

Las visualizaciones gráficas como los histogramas en las estadísticas son útiles para ver patrones en los datos. Patterns in the data are commonly described in terms of center, extension, unusual shape and features.

Some common distributions have special descriptive labels, how symmetrical, bell-shaped, skewed, etc. This is useful in exploratory data analysis. Probability is used to anticipate patterns in the data.

Similarly, each field of activity has patterns. For instance, oncologists study cancer cell patterns to determine prophylaxis.

Therefore, identifying patterns is an easy way to understand, organize and classify information.

Patterns in data mining

Today, the data is both structured (database, spreadsheet, etc.) as unstructured (images, documents, etc.). Finding relevant data is a big challenge for stakeholders.

Data mining tools perform data analysis to discover important data patterns that contribute greatly to business strategies and scientific research..

Patterns in Machine Learning

Machine learning uses math, statistics and domain-specific knowledge and data to solve complex problems.

What is machine learning? Here is a very simple definition.

Machine learning is turning things (data) in numbers and find patterns in those numbers.

To find patterns, algorithms are used. An algorithm is a specific set of steps to perform a task.

a “algorithm“In machine learning it is a procedure that is run on data to create machine learning”model. ” A machine learning algorithm is written to derive the model. the model identify the patterns in data that to fit in the data set. To fit in is synonymous with “find patterns in the data”.

A “model"In machine learning it is the result of a machine learning algorithm that runs on data.

A model represents what was learned using a machine learning algorithm. Es básicamente una función matemática que puede adaptarse a nuevos datos ajustando sus parameters.

Models they are like the general equation of a line y = a + bx, while patterns they are like a specific equation, for instance, y = 5 + 2x. Machine learning is about generalizing correctly to completely new situations.

The basic task of machine learning is to create a model that can predict or classify different patterns from data. One of the applications of this is junk or junk data sorting.

Algorithms adaptively improve their performance as the number of samples available for learning increases.

Two main types of machine learning are supervised and unsupervised machine learning.

Pattern recognition in a supervised approach is called classification. These algorithms use a two-stage methodology to identify the patterns. The first stage is development / construction of the model and the second stage involves the prediction of new or invisible objects.

Unsupervised learning is a type of machine learning that looks for previously undetected patterns in a dataset without pre-existing labels and with minimal human supervision.

Classification it is supervised learning, while the grouping is unsupervised learning.

Deep learning is a specialized form of machine learning that is inspired by how the brain works. Deep learning uses artificial neural networks for more complex pattern tasks like audio and image processing, natural language processing, etc.

The following image differentiates deep learning from other machine learning techniques.

Machine learning vs. pattern recognition

Machine learning is a form of pattern recognition that is basically the idea of ​​training machines to recognize patterns and apply them to practical problems.. Machine learning is a function that can learn from data and keep updating iteratively to perform better., but pattern recognition does not learn problems, but can be coded to learn patterns.

Pattern recognition applications:

The truth is out of all fixed patterns.

  • Natural language processing Apps like spelling and grammar checkers, spam detectors, translation and sentiment analysis tools rely heavily on pattern recognition methods. Regular expressions are useful for identifying complex text patterns for natural language processing.
  • Prosecution, segmentation y análisis de imágenes
    Pattern recognition is used to provide human recognition intelligence to machines that are required in image processing.
  • Computer vision
    Pattern recognition is used to extract significant features from image samples / video given and used in computer vision for various
    applications such as biological and biomedical imaging. Tumor identification is a classic example.
  • Seismic analysis
    The pattern recognition approach is used for discovery, imaging and interpretation of temporal patterns in seismic matrix records.
    Statistical pattern recognition is implemented and used in different types of seismic analysis models.
  • Classification / radar signal analysis
    Pattern recognition and signal processing methods are used in various radar signal classification applications such as landmine detection and
    ID.
  • Speech recognition
    The greatest success in speech recognition has been obtained using pattern recognition paradigms by treating each word as a unit..
  • Fingerprint identification
    Many fingerprint recognition methods are used to
    perform comparison of fingerprints from which pattern recognition is approaching
    is widely used.

Conclution

When patterns break, new worlds arise.

Patterns are everywhere and are part of our life. We need to tune in to identify and recognize them. The future of humanity depends on pattern recognition. Needless to say, technological advancement is highly dependent on the adoption of old and new patterns..
