Zmniejszenie entropii i prostota jako zasady maszynowego rozpoznawania wzorców w ujęciu Satosi Watanabego
Philosophers are motivated to do research concerning pattern recognition because of wide range
of its applications. One of the pathfinders of research in that area was Satosi Watanabe, who has been frequently
commented in the literature concerning this subject. The rule of decrease in entropy and the rule of simplicity
are described in the context of pattern recognition. Although the concept of entropy had been initially used in
the area of thermodynamics, it could be adopted also in the field of pattern recognition. The concept of entropy
should be then suitable transformed. A few of examples of the entropy concept application and the relationship
between entropy and simplicity are discussed in the article. Simplicity considered by Watanabe should be treated
mainly as polynomial curve simplicity, however the issue is described in the wider contex
