The Unsupervised Learning Workshop
By :
Unsupervised learning is the field of practice that helps find patterns in cluttered data and is one of the most exciting areas of development in machine learning today. If you have explored machine learning bookwork before, you are probably familiar with the common breakout of problems in either supervised or unsupervised learning. Supervised learning encompasses the problem set of having a labeled dataset that can be used to either classify data (for example, predicting smokers and non-smokers, if you're looking at a lung health dataset) or finding a pattern in clearly defined data (for example, predicting the sale price of a home based on how many bedrooms it has).
