A pattern recognition device comprises search means which are controlled initially to make a systematic search of a pattern presented for classification and produce signals descriptive of the features. It also comprises storage means in which are stored (a) a list of likelihoods of classes for given features, (b) a list of likelihoods of features for given classes, and (c) a list of mean distances between features for given classes. These lists may be built up during a self-organizing mode of operation of the device. The device further includes prediction means which, when a given number of features have been described by the search means, utilizes these features and the lists in the storage means and predicts the most likely class of the presented pattern, another feature likely to be associated with the features already described, and the locality of said feature. The control of the search means is then passed to the prediction means which cause a search to be carried out in the predicted locality. A signal produced as the result of the search in the predicted locality may be used either in a further prediction or to cause the systematic search to be resumed.
