Find set of faces when combined results in face of person A

We have demonstrated a mini-project where we Find a set of faces when combined results in face of person A. We do this using Machine Learning techniques and will give you a good idea of applications of ML.

Whitening with PCA with code demonstration

When we are training our model on images, the raw input is quite redundant because the pixels that are adjacent to each other are highly correlated. The goal of Whitening is to reduce redundancy in these images by making features less correlated to each other and same variance

Principal Component Regression (PCR)

Principal Component Regression (PCR) is an algorithm for reducing the multi-collinearity of a dataset. PCR is basically using PCA, and then performing Linear Regression on these new PCs. The key idea of how PCR aims to do this, is to use PCA on the dataset before regression.

Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA)

Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is a non-linear dimensionality reduction technique. It is an extension of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) - which is a linear dimensionality reduction technique - using kernel methods.

Principle of Sammon Mapping

Sammon mapping (also known as Sammon projection) is an algorithm that maps a high dimensional data to lower dimensional data by preserving the structure of inter point distances in the original data. Learn why Sammon Mapping is better than Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

Why Principal Component Analysis (PCA) works?

We have demonstrated how and why Principal Component Analysis (PCA) works using the intuition behind the common operations used in the algorithm such as Variance, Covariance, Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues. Eigenvectors represent directions while Eigenvalues represent magnitude the importance

Algorithm of Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

The algorithm of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is based on a few mathematical ideas namely Variance, Convariance, Eigen Vectors and Eigen values. The algorithm is of eight simple steps including preparing the data set, calculating the covariance matrix, eigen vectors and values, new feature set

Basic Ideas of Principal component analysis

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique to bring out strong patterns in a dataset by supressing variations. It is used to clean data sets to make it easy to explore and analyse. We have demonstrated an example of 17 dimensions and given the basic intuition of PCA
