Pattern matching
(gcide) | Pattern matching \Pat"tern match"ing\, n. [See pattern.]
(Computers)
A technique in automated data analysis, usually performed on
a computer, by which a group of characteristic properties of
an unknown object is compared with the comparable groups of
characteristics of a set of known objects, to discover the
idenity or proper classification of the unknown object.
Note: There are two major types of pattern matching,
statistical pattern matching and {syntactic pattern
matching}. In statistical pattern matching, the
criteria used to recognize identity or class membership
vary, but in general some combination of the
differences in the groups of characteristics of known
and unknown objects are considered to be a measure of
the difference ("distance") between them, and the
closest known object or objects are viewed as
presenting the most likely identity or class for the
unknown object. In syntactic pattern matching, a set of
known patterns, e.g. as in the possible order of parts
of speech in a language, is defined, and the unknown
pattern is compared to find that known pattern or
patterns which matches the unknown exactly. In general,
statistical pattern matching is used where properties
of objects with continuous values are being compared,
and syntactic pattern matching where a complex
arrangement of at least two different objects may be
built by application of a set of rules (a "grammar")
for combining the objects in a specified order.
Examples of the latter are natural and formal
languages.

statistical pattern matching
(gcide) | Pattern matching \Pat"tern match"ing\, n. [See pattern.]
(Computers)
A technique in automated data analysis, usually performed on
a computer, by which a group of characteristic properties of
an unknown object is compared with the comparable groups of
characteristics of a set of known objects, to discover the
idenity or proper classification of the unknown object.
Note: There are two major types of pattern matching,
statistical pattern matching and {syntactic pattern
matching}. In statistical pattern matching, the
criteria used to recognize identity or class membership
vary, but in general some combination of the
differences in the groups of characteristics of known
and unknown objects are considered to be a measure of
the difference ("distance") between them, and the
closest known object or objects are viewed as
presenting the most likely identity or class for the
unknown object. In syntactic pattern matching, a set of
known patterns, e.g. as in the possible order of parts
of speech in a language, is defined, and the unknown
pattern is compared to find that known pattern or
patterns which matches the unknown exactly. In general,
statistical pattern matching is used where properties
of objects with continuous values are being compared,
and syntactic pattern matching where a complex
arrangement of at least two different objects may be
built by application of a set of rules (a "grammar")
for combining the objects in a specified order.
Examples of the latter are natural and formal
languages.

design pattern
(foldoc) | design pattern
A description of an object-oriented design
technique which names, abstracts and identifies aspects of a
design structure that are useful for creating an
object-oriented design. The design pattern identifies
classes and instances, their roles, collaborations and
responsibilities. Each design pattern focuses on a particular
object-oriented design problem or issue. It describes when it
applies, whether it can be applied in the presence of other
design constraints, and the consequences and trade-offs of its
use.

pattern matching
(foldoc) | pattern matching
1. A function is defined to take arguments of a particular
type, form or value. When applying the function to its actual
arguments it is necessary to match the type, form or value of
the actual arguments against the formal arguments in some
definition. For example, the function
length [] = 0
length (x:xs) = 1 + length xs
uses pattern matching in its argument to distinguish a null
list from a non-null one.
There are well known algorithm for translating pattern
matching into conditional expressions such as "if" or "case".
E.g. the above function could be transformed to
length l = case l of
[] -> 0
x:xs -> 1 : length xs
Pattern matching is usually performed in textual order though
there are languages which match more specific patterns before
less specific ones.
2. Descriptive of a type of language or utility such as awk
or Perl which is suited to searching for strings or patterns
in input data, usually using some kind of {regular
expression}.
