Chess pattern

Pattern Recognition,
is used to assign a label to an input value , for instance to apply classification in machine learning applications, i.e. to identify objects and images, as well as computer chess related pattern of chess positions in Cognitive Psychology and concerning evaluation and control of the search in computer chess. Pattern recognition algorithms generally aim to provide a reasonable answer for all possible inputs and to perform a "fuzzy" matching. In contrast, Pattern matching usually has to be exact.

Chess Pattern

Chess pattern range from simple properties of squares and pieces concerning occupancy and control, to a more complex interrelated sets of features. Recognizers are implemented with decision trees, neural networks, and fuzzy logics. In his ICCA Journal paper Fuzzy Production Rules in Chess, Peter W. Frey proposed feature strings or sets of three types. Type-A features must match completely, type-B feature strings represent features which are usually but not always present, while type-C features are present occasionally but are highly diagnostic when available. Those features were intended to use at the root for an oracle approach.
