NCTS Mini-course on

 Mathematics in
Manifold Learning


2023.07.21

Manifold learning encompasses much of the disciplines of geometry, computation, and statistics, and has become an important research topic in data mining and statistical learning. The simplest description of manifold learning is that it is a class of algorithms for recovering a low-dimensional manifold embedded in a high-dimensional ambient space.

The goal of this mini-course is to introduce several fundamental  algorithms in manifold learning: MDS (Multidimensional Scaling), LLE(Locally Linear Embedding), Laplacian Eigenmap, TDA(Topological Data Analysis). We will focus on the theoretical properties of them. The prerequisite of this mini-course is linear algebra.
