Automatic pattern analysis of data is a pillar of modern science,
technology and business, with deep roots in statistics, machine learning,
pattern recognition, theoretical computer science, and many other fields.
A unified conceptual understanding of this strategic field is of great
importance for researchers as well as for users of this technology.

This workshop / course will emphasize the common principles and roots of
modern pattern analysis technology, developed independently by many
different scientific communities over the past 30 years, and their impact
on modern science and technology.

Students and researchers from many disciplines dealing with automatic
pattern analysis form the intended audience. These include (but are not
limited to) statistics, pattern recognition, data mining, machine
learning, information theory, sequence analysis, bioinformatics, adaptive
systems, etc

The school will cover both the conceptual foundations of pattern theory as
well as the technological aspects related to pattern-driven data analysis.
