Explore a comprehensive overview of dimension reduction techniques in this 57-minute lecture from the Applied Algebraic Topology Network. Delve into both linear and nonlinear approaches, including principal component analysis (PCA), locally linear embedding (LLE), Laplacian Eigenmaps, Isomap, t-SNE, and UMAP. Examine the application of UMAP, a state-of-the-art tool, to a chemical reaction energy landscape dataset, highlighting the importance of data preprocessing. Gain insights into manifold learning and its various methodologies for uncovering low-dimensional structures in complex datasets. Access accompanying slides for enhanced understanding of the concepts presented.
