recognizers

Systems that identify

Recognizers are people or things that recognize—that identify, acknowledge, or detect something.

The term appears most often in technical contexts: in computing, a speech recognizer converts spoken words to text; a pattern recognizer identifies recurring structures in data.

In linguistics, a recognizer is a system that determines whether input conforms to grammatical rules.
