Pattern Recognition
Pattern recognition is a field within artificial intelligence and machine learning that focuses on identifying regularities, trends, or structures in data. It enables computers to detect patterns in text, images, audio, and other types of input, allowing systems to categorize and interpret complex information. This capability is fundamental to technologies such as speech recognition, facial recognition, fraud detection, and medical diagnostics. Pattern recognition systems typically rely on statistical methods and neural networks to learn from examples and improve accuracy over time. By mimicking human perception, these systems help automate decision-making and enhance the ability of AI to interpret real-world data.
