Advanced Statistical Pattern Recognition course in Poland
Last spring we accepted the invitation of Prof Michal Wozniak to teach an Advanced Pattern Recognition course at Wroclaw University of Technology in Poland. The course took place between the 22 - 26 June 2009. I’ve been lecturing on classification and model building, evaluation techniques and ROC analysis, clustering and image segmentation. 
The 16 participants, mostly graduate students, responded enthusiastically, asked many questions during the lectures, and spent long hours in the laboratory room tackling the practical exercises with PRTools and PRSD Studio. It has been a pleasure to work with them and with my colleagues Dr Ela Pekalska and Dr David Tax from Manchester and Delft university.
I’d like to thank Dr Konrad Jackowski and Prof Michal Wozniak for having been such wonderful hosts. Not only they have been very helpful with all the necessary practicalities at university, but also took time to show us the beautiful city of Wroclaw.
