ABSTRACT

Classification algorithms based on supervised learning are commonly used by many searchers in computer science and electrical engineering. However, everyone seems to have a few recipes, and use them on all problems without paying much attention to other possible methods. In this talk, I will try to point out what makes the difference between any two supervised classifiers, and will briefly review the most commonly used algorithms. I will consider statistical pattern recognition algorithms as well as traditional machine learning techniques. I hope that this presentation will raise some curiosity and eventually lead one to extend his personal cookbook.
