== General Info ==
* Instructors: prof. Francisco Duarte Moura Neto, Ph.D. Berkeley, and prof. [http://www.lems.brown.edu/~rfabbri Ricardo Fabbri], Ph.D. Brown University
* Meeting times: Tues 6pm-7:40pm, Weds 5pm - 6:40pm
* Forum for file exchange and discussion: [http://uerj.tk uerj.tk]

=== Course Format ===
* Evaluation criteria: Final grade = projects (60%), class participation (20%) and exercises/reading summaries (20%)
* Each student will have a main project to develop throughout the semester
** There will be mid and final project presentations, each worth 50% of the project grade
* There will be assigned lab exercises and reading almost every class (papers, book chapters, etc)
** Readings must be summarized with '''personal opinions and reflexions''' and a summary must be typed and handed in
** Discussion and coding in class will be graded as "class participation"
** '''Bring your laptops on Wednesdays!'''

=== Pre-requisites ===
* Undergraduate-level mathematics and probability (will review as needed)
* Intermediate programming experience with any numerics scripting language such as Scilab, Python, R or Matlab.

== Approximate Content ==
We will be reading sections of interest from Mumford's book together with complements from the others.
Focus may shift based on research demand and demand from student's individual projects.
We plan to focus on the following topics.

#Overview of Pattern Theory, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision and Image Understanding. Motivation. Basic concepts.
#Character Recognition and Syntactic Grouping. Image Understanding. (chapter 3)
#Image Texture, Image Segmentation and Gibbs Models (ch. 4)
#'''Faces and Flexible Templates''' (ch. 5): '''--> Focus of course <--'''
#Natural Scenes and their Multiscale Analysis (ch. 6)
#Catastrophe Theory - readings from Rene Thom's book. Qualitative pattern theory?

== Main Resources ==

=== Textbooks ===
* Main book: ''Pattern Theory: The Stochastic Analysis of Real-World Signals'', David Mumford and Agnes Desolneux (see [http://uerj.tk uerj.tk]) [[Image:Mumford-book.jpg]]

* ''Structural Stability and Morphogenesis'', Rene Thom. We'll be complementing the course with ideas from this book, looking into this for investigating pattern formation

=== Lectures ===

==== Partial listing & Tentative Outline ====
'''Part I Chapters 0 and 1 - pattern theory overview and intro to its basic methods through text processing'''
# Overview of pattern theory and classic pattern recognition
# The classical paradigm - machine learning, pattern recognition systems, clustering, recognition, and how it all fits together: the design of the ultimate AI system
# Scilab and Matlab exercises - simulating everything with <tt>rand()</tt>
# Reviewing probability theory guided by Ch 1's first exercises
# Overview of the Bayesian approach to machine learning
# Probabilistic models for text processing - unraveling Ch 1 sec. 0, part I
# Probabilistic models for text processing - unraveling Ch 1 sec. 0, part II
# Practical programming of Ch 1 sec. 0 (frequency tables and sampling of conditional probabilities for text synthesis), guided by Ch 1's Exercise section 5 (p. 55)
# Markov Chains - main definitions and concepts of convergence
# Mutual Information, Entropies, Kullback-Leibler distances
# Word Boundaries Machine Translation
# Practical programming of Ch 1 - DNA Sequence statistics, p. 56 ex 6
# [http://wiki.nosdigitais.teia.org.br/Imagem:Aula-pagerank.pdf Extra lecture on Markov Chains - Google PageRank and markov chains for organizing large networks and machine learning]
'''Part II of Course: lets jump to Chapter 5: Flexible Templates'''
# Overview of manifolds, differential geometry of surfaces and higher dimensions
# Bird's eye view of Mumford's research on diffeomorphisms and infinite dimensional differential goemetry
## See Mumford's presentations (on the right)
## Infinite dimensional nonlinear manifolds and their applications to shape were already predicted by Riemann: ''"There are however manifolds in which the fixing of position requires not a finite number but either an infinite series or a continuous manifold of determinations of quantity. Such manifolds are constituted for example by ... the possible shapes of a figure in space, etc."''
