Abstract :
The problem of pattern recognition is discussed in terms of single-entity representation versus multiple-entity representation. A combined syntactic-semantic approach based on attributed grammars is suggested. Syntax-semantics tradeoff in pattern representation is demonstrated. This approach is intended to be an initial step toward unification of syntactic and statistical approaches to pattern recognition.
