This a lecture used in the Syllabus for Machine Learning 10-601B in Spring 2016
Slides
Readings
- Murphy Chap 12. PCA is not covered in Mitchell.
- There are also some notes on PCA/SVD that I've written up.
- There's a nice description of the gradient-based approach to MF, and a scheme for parallelizing it,by Gemulla et al.
Summary
You should know:
- What PCA is, and how it relates to matrix factorization.
- What loss function and constraints are associated with PCA - i.e., what the "PCA Problem" is.
- How to interpret the low-dimensional embedding of instances, and the "prototypes" produced by PCA and MF techniques.
- How to interpret the prototypes in the case of dimension reduction for images.
- How to interpret the prototypes in the case of collaborative filtering, and completion of a ratings matrix.
- How PCA and MF relate to k-means and and EM.
