Weekly plans and update for week 43

Dear All, we hope this week started the best possible way for all of you!

Last week we started our discussion of dimensionality reduction methods like the principal component analysis. We continue with this this Thursday (see the lecture slides at https://compphysics.github.io/MachineLearning/doc/pub/DimRed/html/DimRed.html and also chapters 14.5-14.7 of Hastie et al, slides almost done)

We will try to conclude with the dimensionality reduction methods tomorrow in order to begin with our next algorithms on Friday, decision trees and random forests (see lecture slides at https://compphysics.github.io/MachineLearning/doc/pub/DecisionTrees/html/DecisionTrees.html) and chapter 9 of Hastie et al.)

Best wishes to you all,

Hanna, Lucas, Morten, Stian and ?yvind
