Abstract
Being able to learn ‘good’ representations of data is, arguably, 90% of the hard work for machine learning tasks. We currently have an abundance of unlabelled data, with more being created every day. It is therefore imperative that we can design and train representation learning algorithms in an unsupervised setting.
In this tutorial style talk, we explore probabilistic and non- probabilistic approaches including Principal Component Analysis, Restricted Boltzman Machines and Autoencoders. We will also discuss the benefits of deep architectures, and how to go about training them.
Series This talk is part of the Machine Learning Reading Group @ CUED series.
