This course introduces students to one of the main types of Machine Learning: Unsupervised Learning. Unsupervised learning denotes machine learning approaches that can be applied without label information. As such, the aim is to extract patterns or statistical regularities in data, and finding good features is key for the successful application of machine learning models. Students will learn several clustering and dimension reduction algorithms for unsupervised learning to find patterns in unlabeled data.
