• Clustering methods - methods that involve assign objects to different groups that each represent similar properties to facilitate analysis
• Data mining - the use of artificial intelligence to discover new patterns in large datasets
• Face recognition - the use of electronics to decipher individual faces through digital images
• Fingerprint recognition - the identification and matching of different fingerprints to different individuals
• Handwriting recognition - the use of electronics to identify a handwriting style with a particular writer
• Pattern matching - the use of electronics to decipher patterns in data
