About
In this 1-hour long project, you will learn how to generate your own high-dimensional dummy dataset. You will then learn how to preprocess it effectively before training a baseline PCA model. You will learn the theory behind the autoencoder, and how to train one in scikit-learn. You will also learn how to extract the encoder portion of it to reduce dimensionality of your input data. In the course of this project, you will also be exposed to some basic clustering strength metrics. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We're currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.Auto Summary
Unlock the power of dimensionality reduction with the engaging course "Dimensionality Reduction using an Autoencoder in Python." This intermediate-level project is perfect for data science and AI enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of data preprocessing and model training. Over the span of just one hour, you'll dive into creating high-dimensional dummy datasets, learn effective preprocessing techniques, and train a baseline PCA model. Guided by an expert instructor from Coursera, you'll explore the theory behind autoencoders and gain hands-on experience training one using scikit-learn. The course also covers how to extract the encoder for dimensionality reduction and introduces basic clustering strength metrics to enhance your analytical skills. Ideal for learners based in North America, this course is free to access and provides a comprehensive yet succinct learning experience. Whether you're looking to expand your data science toolkit or sharpen your AI capabilities, this course offers valuable insights and practical skills to advance your career.
