๐๏ธ Week 07 - Introduction to unsupervised learning and dimensionality reduction
Theme: Unsupervised Learning
Welcome to the seventh week of this course!
This week, we start our exploration of unsupervised learning:
- we discover what differentiates it from supervised learning and in which cases it is used
- we learn about the first family of unsupervised learning techniques: dimensionality reduction. Weโll explain what dimensionality reduction is about and what it is used for before introducing the most common and arguably the most well-known dimensionality reduction algorithm by far: PCA (Principal Component Analysis). We also have a look at other linear dimensionality reduction algorithms (i.e MCA and FAMD) as well as non-linear dimensionality reduction algorithms: UMAP and auto-encoders.
