Dimensionality Reduction 🧙♂️
Let’s take a look at the two main approaches to reducing dimensionality.Projection🧑🎨A 3D dataset lying close to a 2D subspaceIn most real-world problems, training instances are not spread out uniformly across all dimensions. Many features are almost constant, while others are highly correlated.🧑💻As a result, all training instances actually lie within a much lower-dimensional … [Read more...] about Dimensionality Reduction 🧙♂️
