patterns and maths
Rated out of 5 stars, December 12th, 2008
It's a magnificent collection of mathematical tools used in pattern recognition. However a lot of pattern recognition is done successfully by programmers using quite low-level maths in quite long series of problem-oriented processes. As one such I found it interesting to learn the names of what I've been doing on a common-sense basis and see how impressive the formal maths looked, but I didn't find it very useful - the maths notation being the first hurdle. Worse there are almost no descriptions of the earthy realities of a whole process of a serious applications.
Many pattern recognition tasks are solved through elaborate, intelligent, but somewhat arbitrary numerical cookery and there's little discussion of this - e.g just try 'outliers' in the index.
As a chunky box of mathematical confectionery it will delight mathematicians!
