Download or read book Advances in Structural and Syntactic Pattern Recognition written by H Bunke and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993-02-23 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pattern recognition is an active area of research with many applications, some of which have reached commercial maturity. Structural and syntactic methods are very powerful. They are based on symbolic data structures together with matching, parsing, and reasoning procedures that are able to infer interpretations of complex input patterns. This book gives an overview of the latest developments and achievements in the field.
