Welcome back to Pattern Recognition! Today we want to review a couple of basics that are important for the remainder of this class. We will look into simple classification, supervised unsupervised learning, and also review a little bit of probability theory. So this is a kind of refresher. In case you are not that strong anymore with probability theory, you will find the examples that we have in this video very instructive.
