Description
In this course, you will :
- Describe the types of problems that are suitable for Unsupervised Learning approaches.
- Explain the curse of dimensionality and how it makes clustering with many features difficult.
- Explain and apply common clustering and dimension-reduction algorithms.
- When appropriate, try clustering points and compare the performance of per-cluster models.
- Understand metrics relevant for characterising clusters.
