%0 Journal Article %T Application Of t-Cherry Junction Trees in Pattern Recognition %A Tamas Szantai %A Edith Kovacs %J Brain. Broad Research in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience %D 2010 %I EduSoft publishing %X Pattern recognition aims to classify data (patterns) based ei- ther on a priori knowledge or on statistical information extracted from the data. In this paper we will concentrate on statistical pattern recognition using a new probabilistic approach which makes possible to select the so called 'informative' features. We develop a pattern recognition algorithm which is based on the conditional independence structure underlying the statistical data. Our method was succesfully applied on a real problem of recognizing Parkinson's disease on the basis of voice disorders. %K pattern recognition %K probabilistic modeling %K h-uniform hyper- tree %K t-cherry junction tree %U http://brain.edusoft.ro/index.php/brain/article/view/103
