Statistical machine learning algorithms deal with the problem of selecting an appropriate statistical model from a model space based on a training set {xi}N i=1 ⊂ X or {(xi, yi)}N i=1 ⊂ X × Y. In doing so they either implicitly or explicitly make
Pattern recognition has its origins in engineering, whereas machine learning grew out of computer science. However, these activities can be viewed as two facets of the same field, and together they have undergone substantial development over the pas
