Dimensionality & Clustering for Customer Experience (CX) Professionals 

This course delves into the world of unsupervised learning, a powerful branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) crucial for understanding and extracting insights from unlabeled customer data. We'll focus on two key techniques: dimensionality reduction and clustering, equipping you to make sense of complex customer information and enhance CX initiatives within your organization. 

• Explain the concept of unsupervised learning and its role in customer experience analysis.

• Understand the "curse of dimensionality" and its challenges in customer data analysis.

• Apply dimensionality reduction techniques like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to simplify complex customer datasets.

• Utilize clustering algorithms like K-Means clustering to identify distinct customer segments.

• Interpret the results of unsupervised learning techniques and leverage them for actionable insights in CX strategy.
