Pattern Recognition - review paper 1992

On pattern, categories and alternate realities
Laveen N Kanal
Pattern Recognition letters 14 (1993) 241 - 255

A review on pattern recognition presented at the 11th international conference of pattern recognition on reception of an award; the author is from dept of computer science.

The review having been presented in 1992 is, now, dated. The good thing is that certain questions are so fundamental that they cannot be dated. Some of such questions are presented in an informal language, which makes it very good. Tho there is some history also described - it is so intertwined with the personal history of the author that apart from giving an interesting perspective, it does little else. The quotes (also picked from general philosophy) are excellent and i have posted them separately.

Finally an excellent read for anyone interested in pattern recognition or one of the techniques used for them.

a bit doubtful about "pattern recognition" as one of the labels - should i leave it at "time series analysis"?
