Pattern recognition is the task of assigning a class to an observation based on patterns extracted from data, with applications spanning statistical data analysis, signal processing, image analysis, information retrieval, bioinformatics, data compression and computer graphics. The field has its origins in statistics and engineering, and its modern methods increasingly draw on machine learning, made practical by the growing availability of large data sets and processing power.
